Excerpt from On the Birds' Highway: With Photographic Illustrations by the Author and a Frontispiece in Color From a Painting by Louis Agassiz Fuertes It is my hope that these little Sketches may lead others to enjoy all that I have enjoyed "On the Birds' Highway." The appendix contains a number of lists of birds from those localities treated in the body of the book, which may be of some value to field ornithologists. I wish to thank Mr. Louis Agassiz Fuertes for his great kindness in presenting me with the frontispiece, the Editors of the Boston "Commonwealth" and "Transcript" for their permission to reprint a number of the chapters which have appeared in their papers, and also many other friends for kind assistance in various ways.
