"By sun-up every squirrel is exaggerating some fancied indignity to his person, and every jay proclaiming with false emotion about suppositious dangers to society, at this very moment discovered by him. Distant crows are berating a hypothetical owl, just to tell the world how vigilant crows are, and a pheasant cock, musing perhaps on the philanderings of bygone days, beats the air with his wings and tells the world in raucous warning that he owns this marsh and all the hens in it."
- Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
