Text Appearing Before Image:
place around, proceeding with restless activity to gratify the calls of hungerand the stimulus of caprice. Thus they are seen to rove along for milestogether, until satisfied or fatigued, when they retire to rest in the recessesof the darkest forests, situations which they eventually choose for theirtemporary domicile, where in solitude and retirement they rear their young,and for the whole of the succeeding autumn and winter remain probablytogether in families. When the gun thins their ranks, it is surprising to seethe courage, anxiety, and solicitude of these little creatures: they follow youwith their Availing scold, and entreat for their companions in a manner thatimpresses you with a favourable idea of their social feelings and sympathy.Mr. Townsend says, that the Chinook Indians call this species a kul.It inhabits the forests of the Columbia river, where it breeds and goes inflocks in the autumn, more or less gregarious through the season. The legsand feet are light blue. X°26.
