 "The fatherless and the widow ... shall eat and be satisfied."—Deuteronomy xiv. 29.
 
On the 1st of June, 1890, I formally broke away from ornithological1 pursuits. For two months, more or less,—till the autumnal migration2 should set in,—I was determined3 to have my thoughts upon other matters. There is no more desirable plaything than an outdoor hobby, but a man ought not to be forever in the saddle. Such, at all events, had always been my opinion, so that I long ago promised myself never to become, what some of my acquaintances, perhaps with too much reason, were now beginning to consider me, a naturalist4, and nothing else. That would be letting the hobby-horse run away with its owner. For the time being, then, birds should pass unnoticed, or be looked at only when they came in my way. A sensible resolve. But the maker5 of it was neither Mede nor Persian, [Pg 112] as the reader, if he have patience enough, may presently discover for himself.
 
As I sat upon the piazza6, in the heat of the day, busy or half busy with a book, a sound of humming-bird's wings now and then fell on my ear, and, as I looked toward the honeysuckle vine, I began after a while to remark that the visitor was invariably a female. I watched her probe the scarlet7 tubes and dart8 away, and then returned to my page. She might have a nest somewhere near; but if she had there was small likelihood of my finding it, and, besides, I was just now not concerned with such trifles. On the 24th of June, however, a passing neighbor dropped into the yard. Was I interested in humming-birds? he inquired. If so, he could show me a nest. I put down my book, and went with him at once.
