. Bird watching . nded and slightly raised, a bird would suddenly fling them high up, and then, as it were, pitch about over the ground, waving andtossing them, stopping short, turning, pitching forwardagain, leaping into the air, descending and continuing, till, with another leap, it would make a short eccentricflight low over the ground, coming down in a sharpcurve and then, at once, meme jeu. I talk of theirpitching about, because their movements seemedat times hardly under control, and, each violent runor plunge ending, in fact, with a sudden pitch forwardof the body, the wings straggling about (often pointedforward over the head) in an uncouth dislocated sortof way, the effect was as if the birds were being blownabout over the ground in a violent wind. Theyseemed, in fact, to be crazy, and their sudden andabrupt return, after a few mad moments, to pro-priety and decorum, had a curious, a bizarre effect.Though having just seen them behave so, one seemedalmost to doubt that they had.
