Book Description
Excerpt from Lost British Birds At the present day the crane is a rare visitor-a lost wanderer from happier realms. The resonant, far-sounding cry of this noble bird - one of the most fascinating sounds of wild nature, especially when several individuals, as their custom is, unite their voices in a chorus - will probably never be heard again in England, except from captives in an en closure. With the crane's figure we are perhaps more familiar than with that of any other large species, and will be so as long as we continue to import decorative hangings, screens and pictures by the million from Japan. To that artistic people the crane is pre-eminent among birds for its beauty and stately grace as is the Chrysanthemum among flowers.
