This is my 4th reading from The Story of My Boyhood and Youth by John Muir written the year before he died in 1914.
This chapter, called A Paradise of Birds, describes his experiences as a boy at his Fountain Lake home, seeing bobolinks, bobwhite quail, and passenger pigeons, “of all God’s feathered people that sailed the Wisconsin sky, no other seemed to us so wonderful”, and I end by reading Aldo Leopold’s deeply moving talk called On a Monument to the Pigeon, given at the dedication of the Passenger Pigeon Monument at Wyalusing State Park in May of 1947.
