290 NATURE MAGAZINE FOR MAY 193 1 BLOMQUIST DRAGONHEAD'S LAGOON, WITH ITS CYPRESS GUARDS The trees, festooned with Spanish moss, and eerie in the half-light of dawn, make perfect setting for the last of the great reptiles, as he swims among the lily pads were there, and, besides these, many lesser voices: pine and prairie warblers, blue-gray gnatcatchers, brown- headed nuthatches, tufted titmice, Carolina chickadees, red-eyed and white-eyed vireos, hooded warblers, Southern yellowthroats, bluebirds, jays and yellow warblers. The trees and thickets swarmed with birds—birds of bright plumage and graceful form and sweet silvery notes and calls. But we were out, that May dawn, in search of bigger game, and we pushed on. It was hard work forcing the little flat-bottomed punt through the thick mat of water-weeds fringing the lagoon, but presently we gained the open water. We were afloat now upon the placid surface of a forest- rimmed lake, dotted with floating islands of water- growths and thickets of willows; and cruisingthere amid the dawn-mists, dipping our paddles carefully so as to make no sound, we moved slowly along the margins of the floating islands and explored the channels between them, seeing many interesting sights but for a long while finding no sign of the thing that we had been looking for since daybreak. Often the willow clumps rising from the floating islands were fairly aquiver with life. Red-winged blackbirds took flight before us, Louisiana herons and little blue herons, most of them in the white immature plumage, craned their long necks from the green willow foliage, then rose with a swift beating of wings. Now and again a least bittern darted up from PERHAPS KITTLEFOOT HIMSELF The black bear of the mountains typifies the ruggedness of high places the floating weeds and flew rapidly away. A few belated coots and small squadrons of Florida gallinules, talking to one another ceaselessly in their queer infinitely varied language, swam off to right and left with an awkward bobbing of heads. Great blue herons passed over from time to time, their wide, curved pinions fanning the air with slow, measured beats. High overhead, we saw an osprey circling and, far above him, a splendid bald eagle, his dark wings motionless, his white head and tail shining like silver in the sun. Gradually, as the morning mists cleared, the air became more populous. Another eagle, a dark bird not yet adorned with the snowy head and tail of the fully matured adult, joined the silver-crowned monarch circling above the lagoon. Turkey vultures appeared here and there against the face of the sky; wood ducks in twos and threes passed at frequent intervals, flying like the wind; crows and fish crows streamed by in a never- ending procession; three red-shouldered hawks, making the air ring with their wild, far-carrying cries, circled at varying levels. Higher even than the eagles, a snakebird or water turkey swung round and round, long neck outstretched, long tail half spread like a fan, wings rigid and motionless; and presently to the right and left of it we saw other water turkeys, soaring in wide circles or ellipses, for all the world like black airplanes sharply BROWNHLI.

Several articles on the Carolinas appear in this 1931 issue of Nature Magazine. The magazine was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
