Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mammals and Birds of Mount Rainier National Park Mammals and birds furnish life and action in what would other wise be at times a grim and forbidding picture of glacier, beetling cliff, or gloomy forest. They complete the circle of interesting natural objects which combine to justify in so high a degree the establishment of the park. A good animal picture is a thing Of beauty; a well-mounted group is still more attractive; but no picture, group, or model can compete in interest with the living animal in its natural surroundings. Mammal and bird habitats include some of the wildest and grand est areas On Mount Rainier, some accessible with ease, others only with the greatest difficulty. Living creatures are Often found in most unexpected places (see pp. 166 and and at least two rodents (white-footed mouse and little chipmunk) and one large carnivore (black bear) have been reported from the extreme summit of Mount Rainier. It is obvious that the park visitor, if he wishes to do so, can find physical, mental, and spiritual recreation in the pursuit of knowledge of the ways of our furred and feathered friends without in any sense exhausting the possibilities of profitable and pleasant occupation.
