Poetic Places (3): Hiawatha Country

'From the mountains, moors, and fen-lands
Where the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah,
Feeds among the reeds and rushes...'

From: The Song of Hiawatha
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1807-1882



If you are a fan of Longfellow's Hiawatha poem, do take a look at the amazing photograph of the Minnehaha Falls on Ecobirder's fabulous blog here.
