Scope and Content

Writes about how hard it is to draw birds in flight, questions if Ruskin will declare swallows mad in his next lecture, and questions why animals know storms are coming and "get so excited about them". Discusses how he doesn't understand how shoals of fish miles across can move together, and questions why birds that have their nests in hollow trees lay white eggs.
