How could I make a little book, when I have seen enough to make a dozen large books? John J. Audubon After studying his art last term and reading some marvelous stories of his birding adventures, we just had to make it to the museum to see the actual book Audobon produced. With a tape measure in his pocket to make note of the size, he marched right over and his face filled with a grin. The tape measure was promptly forgotten and an enthusiastic self-directed tour began. I never for a day gave up listening to the songs of our birds, or watching their peculiar habits, or delineating them in the best way I could. J. J. Audobon In my deepest troubles, I frequently would wrench myself from the persons around me and retire to some secluded part of our noble forests. J. J. Audubon A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.

How wonderful that you could see these things for yourselves! My 5-yo was sitting beside me as I opened this page, and he thought the swans in the last photograph were real, and was amazed that your boys could get so close!

In that last one, they are taxidermy. He loved it because he got to release swans into the wild through a conservation program one spring. They hold a special place with him. :)
