Book excerpt: Excerpt from Familiar Life in Field and Forest: The Animals, Birds, Frogs, and Salamanders One can never tell at what moment some surpris ing demonstration of wild life will occur at one's very doorstep. What with two deer, nine weasels, and a performing bear, all of which appeared in one day last summer close to my studio, I concluded that our tame mountain retreat had relapsed again to the wild and happy conditions of the primitive forest. But I was forced to change my mind a few days after, when an Italian with his organ ground out Johnny, get your gun within forty feet of the spot where the wild deer had stood.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonders of the Animal Kingdom: Birds Prey, such as birds and small quadrupeds, espe cially the latter. They always kill their prey on the ground, which distinguishes them from the falcon tribe; and with their talons, which distin guishes them from the vulture. In strength, in vigour of the wing, acuteness of sight, and pow erful clutch of the talons, the Golden Eagle is superior to every other bird. In size, it is gene rally about three or four feet long, and seven or eight feet in the expansion of the Wings. This great extent of wings makes them, when folded, as long as the tail. The female is larger than the male. The plumage Of a full-grown Eagle is of a blackish-brown on the back, the tail is of a deep grey barred with brown, the head a lively golden red. The powerful tendons and muscles by which the talons are moved are protected by a thick coating of feathers, covering the feet bones down to the very division of the toes. The feet are composed of three powerful, sharp, and hooked talons, of a yellowish colour, and defended above by three horny plates or scales on the last joint of each toe. So admirable is the mechanism of the foot, that when dried, it may be made to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Natural History, Vol. 3: A Foundation of Useful Knowledge of the Higher Animals of North America; Birds (Concluded) Whenever, during the hour just before sunset, you see a good-sized bird with dark plumage, long, sharp-pointed wings, and a big white spot on the under surface of each wing, wheeling, soaring, dropping and circling through the air, you may know that it Is a Nighthawk, catching insects. Its ight is graceful and free, and when on the aerial war-path it is a very industrious bird. Some people compare this bird on the wing with bats; but I see no resemblance save the bare fact of semi-nocturnal ight. This bird, and the other mem bers of its Family, are among the very few North American birds that capture winged insects high in mid-air, and for this reason, even if. There were no other, all the Goatsuckers should be most rigidly protected everywhere. The time for shooting the Nighthawk for sport has long gone by, never to return.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Natural History: Birds IN this Work I have continued to carry out the same plan which has been employed in the previous volume descriptive of the Mammalia, giving to the body of the work a popular and anecdotal character, and reserving the more scientific portions for the Compendium of Generic Distinctions at the end of the volume. Much pains has been taken with that part of the work, for which I am in a great degree indebted to the invaluable Genera of Birds by Dr. Gray, a work which has long established itself as the standard of systematic Ornithology as at present accepted by the learned world. The system employed, and the names that are given 111 this work, are those which have been sanctioned by the usage of the national collection in the British Museum; and any one who wishes to study the Birds in a systematic manner can accomplish his object by taking this volume to the Museum, and comparing the specimens with the history of the species in the body of the work, and the characteristic distinctions of the genera at its end. By means of this Table, also, any one can ascertain the approximate position which any bird holds in the system of the present day.

Download or read book The Biology of Birds Classic Reprint written by J. Arthur Thomson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biology of Birds The aim of this book, like that of the others in the series, is to illustrate biological ideas in reference to a particular group or class Of animals. In this case the selected class is that of birds, and the book applies to these fascinating creatures such biological concepts as adaptation, struggle, sex, heredity, variation, selec tion, and behaviour. There are many students of birds who are expert along particular lines, having, for instance, a personal familiarity with British birds and their ways, or an accurate knowledge of birds' bones or birds' eggs, or a detailed acquaintance with what is known in regard to distribution, migration, and the nature of the food, or a quite remarkable eye for flight, and ear for song. We have had the pleasure of learning much from some of these experts, a pleasure all the greater be cause the lover of birds is usually a delightful person to meet; perhaps we shall not be misunderstood if we say that this book is an attempt to unite all the specialisms in an amalgam of biological ideas. For those who have the good fortune to be nearer the beginning than the end of their studies, our book may be, we hope, of use in suggesting the length and breadth, the depth and height of the Biology of Birds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tommy Smith's Animals There was once a little boy, named A Tommy Smith, who was very cruel to animals, because nobody had taught him that it was wrong to be so. He would throw stones at the birds as they sat in the trees or hedges; and if he did not hit them, that was only because they were too quick for him, and flew away as soon as they saw the stone coming. But he always meant to hit them - yes, and to kill them too, - which made it every bit as bad as if he really had killed them.

This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Danger of Introducing Noxious Animals and Birds Domesticated animals, like cultivated plants, may run wild and become so abundant as to be extremely injurious. Wild horses are said to have become so numerous in some parts of Australia that they consume the feed needed for sheep and other animals, and hunters are employed to shoot them. In some of the Western States they have also become a nuisance, and in Nevada a law was passed in 1897 per mitting wild horses to be shot. Recent reports from \vashington indicate that cayuses are considered of so little value that they are killed and used for bait in poisoning wolves and coyotes.
