Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prairie-Bird A. - I can at least offer you this comfort that whereas you could not have got out of the stage half-way on the road without much inconvenience, you can easily lay down the book whenever you find it becoming tedious if you seek for amusement only, you probably will be disappointed, because one of my chief aims has been to afford you correct information respecting the habits, condition, and character of the North American Indians and those bordering on their territory. I have introduced also several incidents founded on actual occurrences and some of them, as well as of the characters, are sketched from personal observation.

Download or read book Birds of South Dakota Classic Reprint written by William H. Over and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of South Dakota Effort has been made in this bulletin to obtain as complete a list of South Dakota birds as possible. In all, 322 species and subspecies have been recorded. With few exceptions these are represented in the University Museum collections at Vermillion. There is perhaps no State in the Union where bird study is more perplexing than in South Dakota. From east to west the State embraces birds of woods, prairie and mountains. The range of many birds is constantly moving westward, and this causes variation in the migrating routes of many species. The Black Hills, lying only a little apart from the Rocky Mountains, are apt to be visited occasionally by western species. From south to north, likewise, both trees and latitude affect the bird problem. The Missouri River with its wooded banks and ravines, traversing the middle of the State, provides conditions which attract some species farther north than they would otherwise come. But for this fact we probably would not have the beautiful Western Blue Grosbeak within our borders. Birds from farther east and south also, such as Cardinals and Wood Thrushes, follow the growing trees into South Dakota. Many birds are found in the southern part of the State which are never seen in the northern part; and some birds which formerly nested in South Dakota no longer do so. So numerous, therefore, are the changes going on in bird life within the State that observations which were made a few years ago may not be accurate today and observations made today may not be accurate tomorrow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Birds of Kansas The title of this work is explanatory of its object, and there fore does away with the usual preface or introductory remarks, further than to say, that the author's aim has been to present to the general reader, as well as to the student interested in bird life, a book containing the latest knowledge in regard to the habits, etc, of our birds.

Download or read book Birds of the Kansas City Region Classic Reprint written by Harry Harris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of the Kansas City Region There has been no list of the birds of the Kansas City region which local students of birds could consult. It is hoped that the present summary of an extensive study of the avifauna of Jackson County, Missouri, and vicinity, will be of service to local nature-study classes, and to bird students in general. It is hoped also that it may stimulate that scientific interest in bird-study which is an active and powerful incentive to the growing movement for bird protection. No attempt has been made to furnish a means of identifying birds, since so many standard works covering this ground are available. A list of desirable books is given in the text. The nomenclature used is that of the American Ornithologists' Union Che-ck List. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Birds of Illinois and Wisconsin Classic Reprint written by Charles B. Cory and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Illinois and Wisconsin The keys to families and species are practically the same as those which first appeared in the author's Birds Of Eastern North America, revised to meet their present needs. These should enable the stu dent to readily identify a bird, the Species belonging to the different families being arranged according to the length Of the wing (measured from carpus to tip). A key to the eggs of our more common species is also included. Careful comparison of large series of specimens has Shown that while adult birds Of the same Species differ considerably in length, the wing measure is very constant, the variation in a large number of specimens being SO small that, allowing for possible extremes, we may safely arrange our birds in groups, using the length of the wing as a basis. The identification of any species then becomes a comparatively simple matter, as usually the birds contained in each group are SO few in number that characteristic differences are easily indicated.

Download or read book The Birds of Colorado Classic Reprint written by Wells Woodbridge Cooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Colorado The notes on migration given in the following table are designed to show the different time at which the same species of birds arrive at different places and altitudes in Colorado as compared with the time of their arrival in the same latitude farther east and at a lower altitude. St. Louis, Mo., is thirty miles farther north than Fort Lyon, Colo., and one hundred and twenty miles south of Loveland, Colo. Hence, according to latitude, the birds should arrive in St. Louis about the same time as at Fort Lyon. But it is found that in fact they reach St. Louis on the average about twelve days before they appear at Fort Lyon. The dates Of arrival seem to indicate an aver age difference Of six days between Fort Lyon and Loveland. The distance between these two places is one hundred and fifty miles, or an average movement for the birds of twenty-five miles per day. This agrees quite closely with the average of twenty-eight miles per day that was found to be the usual speed of migration in the Mississippi valley.

Download or read book The Suburban Wild written by Peter Friederici and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago, amid traffic, pollution, and ever-increasing neighborhoods of houses and apartments, these meditative personal essays explore the importance of our connection with the natural world, history, and memory. The Suburban Wild follows the seasons from one spring to the next, celebrating the natural miracles we frequently miss and revealing a territory less tamed than we might imagine. These essays offer the sights and sounds found on the outskirts of cities, just perceptible amid the clutter and din of crowded streets and sidewalks. From the constant humming of cicadas on summer evenings and the seasonal migrations of ducks to the myriad hues in a green heron's feathers, Peter Friederici reveals a complex place in which wild geese and morning commuters share the same habitat. The essays honor our lost creatures and places, emphasizing the importance of history, memory, and consciousness. The author describes the varying shades and textures of a clay bluff near his childhood home, relating the gradual erosion and recession of this Ice Age-old landform. A description of spirogyra algae blooms on Lake Michigan merges with a discussion of the lake's once abundant native mussels and the imported zebra mussels that are threatening their existence. From recorded memories, Friederici re-creates the sight of the now extinct passenger pigeon. Though awareness of the destruction of the landscape and its creatures is never far from the wonders presented here, The Suburban Wild connects the tracks of wildlife and traces of our changing landscape with our own path through the world. The book explores how history--whether natural or cultural, collective or personal--shapes a landscape, and how human memory shapes that history. At heart, it seeks to forge a link between the world outside our windows and the one inside.
