"The duck-hawk nests on the ledges of rock precipices," from "Huns of the Air," a title reflecting a World War reference to German aircraft probably created by Walter Prichard Eaton in the January 1919 issue of Harper's Monthly Magazine.

"The cotton-tail rabbit beneath a tent of swamp shrubbery," from "Little Folks that Gnaw," by Walter Prichard Eaton in the Januar 1919 issue of Harper's Monthly Magazine.

"A chipmunk waiting expectantly for breakfast," from the same issue.

"In the fairy forests of the weeds," from the same issue. Can you believe this writing?
