Roosevelt Guests Seek Birds and Tales on Rock Creek Trail
Edward Clark recounts a Washington excursion with Dr Theodore Palmer of the biological survey, inviting a British photographer Richard Kearton to witness American bird life. They traverse Rock Creek park, observe crows, buzzards, cardinals, and sparrows, meet President Roosevelt, and chase a mockingbird through the wooded valley and its crossings.
