Greetings! Okay I will be first to admit that this one was a tough question to answer. If I had not been looking for an answer to a question on my Facebook page, I would have missed it. :-D The quote is from a small book called The Song Of The Cardinal by Gene Stratton-Porter(1863-1924). She also wrote A Girl Of The Limberlost...Which was the tract of swamp land that she helped save over in Indiana. I encourage you lo look the book up on Google Books, for it has been out of print for quite some time. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
