Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of Song and Story The Birds They are swaying in the marshes, They are swinging in the glen, Where the cat-tails air their brushes In the zephyrs of the fen; In the swamp's deserted tangle, Where the reed-grass whets its scythes; In the dismal, creepy quagmire, Where the snake-gourd twists and writhes. They are singing in arroyos, Where the cactus mails its breast, Where the Spanish bayonet glistens On the steep bank's rocky crest; In the canon, where the cascade Sets its pearls in maiden-hair, Where the hay and holly beckon Valley sun and mountain air. They are nesting in the elbow Of the scrub-oak's knotty arm, In the gray mesh of the sage-brush, In the wheat-fields of the farm; In the banks along the sea beach, In the vine above my door, In the outstretched, clumsy fingers Of the mottled sycamore. While the church-bell rings its discourse They are sitting on the spires; Song and anthem, psalm and carol Quaver as from mystic lyres. Everywhere they flirt and flutter, Mate and nest in shrub and tree. Charmed, I wander yon and hither, While their beauties ravish me, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Birds There is a certain quiet bit of land, just where two midland counties meet, that is in winter a favourite resort Of the fieldfares. There they find all they need - the hedges are usually bright with hips, and with the darker crimson berries of the hawthorn the fields are all pasture-meadows, and the grass is tufty and full of insects; a little stream winds snake-like through the fields, hidden by an overarching growth Of briar and bramble. NO well-worn path crosses these meadows, and you may count on being undisturbed if you sit for a few minutes, to enjoy the winter sunshine and.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Songs of the Birds: Or Analogies of Animal and Spiritual Life It is not intended in the following pages to give any precise and scientific account of our British singing birds, but merely so far to describe their habits and dispositions, as may suit the purpose, which the following little work has in view. It is not necessary, that the young readers, for whom it is intended, should all be naturalists, that they should be correct and scientific in their knowledge of ornithology, so as to be able to detect always the specific difference in form and plumage between the different species.

Download or read book Our Birds and Their Nestlings Classic Reprint written by Margaret Coulson Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Birds and Their Nestlings Since permanent interest in any subject cannot be awakened through occasional lessons, it is believed that much profit will come from a few weeks' continuous read ing along a single line, - reading which will create a love for the beautiful through understanding. Ignorance closes the door to much of our best' literature, which can be interpreted only through a sympathetic familiarity with nature. Color, sound, and movement are always attractive to childhood, and nowhere can they be found in such pleas ing combination as in the bird world. The study of its busy little inhabitants in their natural environment will not only add pleasure to the walks of the child, but will help him to a knowledge of the adaptation of all life to its surroundings. It will also lead to the intelligent appreciation of litera ture and music. Since the birth of time the birds have inspired poets and musicians. They have also given the keenest pleas ure to countless thousands who have never attempted to express what they felt. To interest a child in these guests of our groves, - these feathered entertainers who are also workers in our fields and orchards, - is to put him in possession of a wellspring of interest as enduring as life itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Children: The Little Playmates of the Flower Children Birds are poetry come to life and set to music. If you should stand at the edge of a forest at sundown and hear the birds singing their good-night songs, hear the sleepy little notes grow fainter and fainter until the silence came, -then when the dusk had deepened, you should hear the night birds begin their plaintive songs, you would realize what a different place our beautiful world would be without birds. Even in great cities we have always some birds The saucy little sparrow, who comes so boldly beg ging crumbs at your window, likes the cities best. Only Very thoughtless people, or those who do not understand, would harm or frighten a bird. They are real little people, and I am sure that when you have come to know them you will love them as much as you have learned to love the Flower Children.

Its graceful movements, its soft and elegant plumage, its gift of song or if not of song, of a certain lively gaiety - its tender care for its young, its skill in preparing so pretty a home for their reception, its plaintive mourning when deprived of mate or young, its faith as, in search of a more genial clime, it flies across the mighty waters - all endear it to us as to a beautiful gift we ought to appreciate, and with whose happy and joyous life we should never wilfully interfere.

A mist rose from moist fields, and hung over the whole country side as if it were November; the june of I8I5 was wet and chill, as June so often is. And as the mist hung over the land. So a certain sense of doubt and anxiety hung over the hearts of man and beast and bird.

Download or read book She Heard the Birds written by Andrea D'Aquino and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Florence Merriam Bailey, a pioneering birder and activist who changed the way we study birds forever, as told through the evocative collage style of artist Andrea D'Aquino. As a young girl, Florence Merriam Bailey fell in love with the outdoors, especially birds whose songs and flight captivated her. She listened, waited, and watched to better understand her feathered friends, and wrote many books, including one of the first field guides to American birds. Her work ultimately led to better protection for birds and to the scientific study of birds in nature instead of in a lab. She Heard the Birds, the latest book from A Life Made by Hand: The Story of Ruth Asawa author Andrea D'Aquino, brings to life the story of a woman ahead of her time. D'Aquino's striking full-page collages make each page a delight to read.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of a Feather You remember the old proverb, "Birds of a feather flock together"? These stories of the faults and confessions, the lessons and rewards, the mistakes and amendments of children like yourselves, are "birds of a feather" in many respects, and so "flock together" naturally in this little book which I have the pleasure of presenting to you. In respect of age and relationship, and affection for one another, in love of fun, and faculty for mischief, - and also, I think, in many higher and holier faculties, - you are yourselves "birds of a feather." May you always "flock together" for all good and beautiful purposes; encouraging each other's efforts, avoiding each other's faults, sympathizing tenderly in each other's joy and sorrow, until you plume your wings to those upper spheres where "birds of a feather flock together" with endless song and rejoicing.
