An enchanting flurry of birds, stalking about or on the wing, illuminates the pages of this story about how the birds got their fine feathers, by the author of Riding the Rails. Although tales about ""how it all began"" have suffered a lapse in popularity recently, the fanciful story of how the kind old turkey buzzard flew to Feather Mountain to bring back the bright feathers, and how each bird chose the colors best for him has a charming simplicity as well as a value for introductory bird identification.
