Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Song Birds and Water Fowl One of the most famous resorts of land-birds in the Eastern States is in the town of Englewood, N. J.; to be precise, West Englewood, a small farming district at some distance from Englewood itself. But let no one, meditating a trip to this avian shrine, be misled, as I nearly was, by an unscrupulous ticket-agent of the New Jersey Northern Railroad, who tried to persuade me that all of Englewood worth mentioning was on his road - a statement fully two miles wide of the truth, for West Englewood is on the West Shore road. The circumstance that makes this an attractive spot to the feathered tribe is its variety of topography, and, consequently, of vegetable and animal life; for, within a small area, are comprised upland and swamp, woods, shrubbery, and open land - quite an epitome of nature with such diversity of growth as to allure the varied tastes of a wide range of species.
