Wood Wanderings (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) Winthrop Packard

“It is the first prophecy of winter under the sheltering boughs where still lingers the midsummer warmth. The chickadees, going their forenoon rounds, scold about it in a brisk fashion that is in tune with the briskness of the wind itself. In the languor of the south wind the chickadee has a little lazy song which he sings often, “Sleepee, sleepee, ” a tuneful little ditty that makes you want to stretch out on the brown carpet with a mound of green moss for a pillow and let the resinous odors lull you to sleep. I always feel that the bird himself murmurs it with one eye closed and himself in danger of falling off the perch in slumber. ” Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Wood Wanderings (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) (Winthrop Packard)
