What important naturalist theme is reflected in this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat"?
The birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dinghy, for the wrath of the sea was no more to them than it
was to a covey of prairie chickens a thousand miles inland. Often they came very close and stared at the men with black bead-like eyes.

ominous.
