Excerpt from To the Memory: Author of "the Zoology of the State of New York"

A closer watch on their habits revealed a forethought, a method, a genius for work, an industry that astound the naturalists of our day; certain actions of birds gave the men of old warrant to concede them powers of prophecy.
