Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Birds: Or the Elements of Ornithology
Nor are they less remarkable for other characteristics of attraction. Some delight by their majestic presence: look at the eagle, proudly resting on the naked cliff what dignity in his attitude, as, motionless like a statue, his glossy brown plumage all arranged with the nicest care, he surveys the distant prospect, while the fire of his glistening eye betrays his innate ferocity and impetuous daring; his mate is on her eyry, she dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag Of the rock, and the strong place. From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar Off. Her young ones also suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is she. Job xxxix.
Others please us with their gorgeous beauty. Who can look upon the peacock with his plumes of azure, green, and gold, spread out to the bright rays of the sun, and not acknowledge the glory of the spectacle? Others charm our ears with melody, and fill the groves and wood lands with their song. Their melodious songs excite us to praise their and our Creator, and as they ascend upwards they seem to teach us to soar above this world, and to enforce the lesson, Set your affection on things above -where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God - not on things on the earth. Col. Iii. L, 2. Others interest by their familiarity and confidence, their smart and lively actions.
