“It did not take the partridge (ruffed grouse) long to find out how sweet its buds were, and every winterday she flew and still flies from the wood to pluck them. The rabbit too was not slow to learn the taste of its twigs and bark. The owl crept into the first one that became hollow, and fairly hooted with delight, finding it just the place for him.
“He settled down into it, and has remained there ever since. The lackey caterpillar (I am at a loss on this) saddled her eggs on the very first twig that was formed, and it has since divided her affections with the wild cherry; and the canker-worm also in a measure abandoned the elm to feed on it. And when the fruit was ripe the squirrel half carried, half rolled it to his hole, and even the musquash (woodchuck, maybe?) crept up the bank and greedily devoured it; and when it was frozen and thawed, the crow and jay did not disdain to peck it.
“And the beautiful wood duck, having made up her mind to stay a while longer with us, has concluded that there is no better place for her too.”
