Тёплые июньские деньки 1906 года
Остин Хобарт Кларк "Characteristic Kamchatkan Birds" :
" From the 17th to the 20th of June this past summer, I was fortunate enough to be in that out-of-the-way and seldom visited town, Petropaulski, Kamchatka...
I reached Petropaulski from Bering Island, after having spent nearly a month in the bleak and desolate Aleutian chain; and the sight of the pretty wooded hills about the town, the broad meadows, and the distant snow-covered mountains, combined with the songs of hundreds of birds all about produced a deep impression, and made me think at the time that there could not exist a more charming spot than this little town in farthest Siberia.
The weather during my stay was perfect, warm and summerlike, the sun shining almost all the time, which I was in a condition to appreciate, as the sun is a rather rare sight in the Aleutians, and comfortable days, at this season, rarer still. "
В это время вовсю куковала кукушка (с. 279), в рощах высоких деревьев ухали совы, часто встречались орланы и скопа (с. 280)
