William and Maymie Kimes Annotation
""He [ouzel] is the mountain streams' own darling,-the hummingbird of blooming waters, loving rocky ripple-slopes and sheets of foam, as a bee loves flowers .... Among all the mountain birds, none has cheered me so much in my lonely wanderings .... While water sings, so must he; in heat or cold, calm or storm, ever attuning his voice in sure accord .... ""
