Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Attract Wild Birds About the Home Men of forty, recalling their childhood, remember that boys then had only one idea when they found a bird's nest - to take the eggs out. If a bird were striking in colors or varity, or for any reason, its distinction was only an added incentive to kill it if possible. Men of forty have seen the wild pigeon, but see it no more. They can scarcely find now one pair of the brilliant, graceful and confiding wood ducks in the romantic haunts where there were hundreds. The handsome cardinal, with his cheery winter whistle, has practically disappeared in many localities where its flashes of color were the commonest sights. In the thousand lovely swales and birch edges of Southern New England the woodcock is now a rare bird save in the few days of migratory "flights," and then there is only a small fraction of the former abundance. The elegant and beautiful brown thrashers, our glorious "sandy mocking bird," nesting too conveniently low for cats and prying human eyes, had, a few years ago, almost disappeared from hundreds of thickets and fence foliage where the boys who are now men of forty could rely on finding them. The dramatic swoops and booms of the nighthawk, beating the coverts of the evening air and sweeping innumerable insects into his curious mouth, open from ear to ear, can be missed through a whole September now; the writer remembers upwards of 200 being bagged in a single sunset "shoot" in Virginia, in his boyhood. Scores of delicate and interesting small bird neighbors, bent only on adding beauty to the world and doing each his bit in ridding us of ugly insect pests, seemed, a few ears ago, to be headed toward the fate of the wild pigeon. But no one has noticed, in this process of bird destruction, any diminution in caterpillars and the scores of varieties of plant-destroying bugs. There has been no lack of tree and plant devouring insect pests of a hundred kinds. Indeed, while anything like a bug census is obviously impracticable, the same general observation which showed us that the birds were decreasing was equally convincing as to the increase, with equal steps, of noxious insects and their ravages.

This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Attract and Protect Wild Birds The following pages form an admirable treatise, not only on bird protection, but more than that, on bird preservation. Game birds have long been carefully preserved by means of a close season, by the destruction of their enemies, the provision of plantations and coverts for nesting and shelter, and by feeding. The Baron von Berlepsch has applied the system of game preservation to all useful birds, and his methods, as recorded in this book, are convincing by reason of their very thoroughness.

Download or read book Methods of Attracting Birds Classic Reprint written by Gilbert H. Trafton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods of Attracting Birds The importance of attracting birds around our homes was first impressed upon the author through his experience with children in connection with the work in nature-study in the public schools. This was encouraged chiefly from the child's standpoint, on account of the educative value of this kind of work on the child. Furthermore, from the standpoint of the birds, this means of encouraging and protecting them is a very efficient one, which may be applied by all birdlovers, adults as well as children. Hence this book has been written from two view-points, that of birds and that of human beings; for the protection of the former and the pleasure of the latter. The author has not attempted to restrict himself to his own experiences, but has drawn freely upon the experiences of any who could be reached. And, indeed, the chief value of these pages lies in the fact that they represent the results of so many observers, giving a brief summary of the work that is being done throughout the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conservation of Our Wild Birds: Methods of Attracting and Increasing the Numbers of Useful Birds and the Establishment of Sanctuaries Everywhere of this twentieth century are living in an age when both societies and individuals are zealously striving, not only to inspire a love for this wild life, but also to instruct the people at large regarding how it may be wisely conserved. Love for the out-of-doors is strong in most of us and the call to the country is insistent. Each year the throng increases of those who respond to this summons, - many to reside there permanently, others as sojourners only during the delightful months of the year, and the charms of a country life are doubly enhanced by the presence of the wild creatures about us. The wild life, especially the birds, contribute largely to both our welfare and our happiness. While engaged in their important work of ridding the country of injurious insect pests and the seeds of noxious weeds, they at the same time gratify our aesthetic tastes by their cheery songs, bright colors, and vivacious movements. There is also the additional charm of being able to watch the evolution of their home-building, from the gathering of the first nesting material until the young spread their wings and fly away.

Download or read book Audubon Birdhouse Book written by Margaret A. Barker and published by Voyageur Press. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Produced in association with the National Audubon Society, Audubon Birdhouse Book explains how to build and place safe, species-appropriate bird homes for more than 20 classic North American species, from wrens to raptors. A visit to almost any home or garden center presents birders with numerous cute and colorful contraptions that are sold as bird homes. But the fact is, many of these products provide anything but a safe refuge for your feathered friends. Each of the easy-to-build boxes and shelves within is accompanied by cut lists, specially created line diagrams, and step-by-step photography, making the projects accessible to those with even the most rudimentary woodworking skills. In addition, this practical and beautifully presented guide is packed with color photography and profiles and range maps for the bird species covered—including titmice, chickadees, nuthatches, phoebes, swallows, waterfowl, and even kestrels and owls—to help the reader properly place and maintain the homes to attract birds. And because these projects are the product of years of experience and field-testing, you can be sure you’re getting the best advice regarding proper design, safe construction materials, and correct home placement to mitigate exposure to elements, pests, and predators. Finally, beyond the birdhouses, you’ll find out how you can contribute to the larger birding community and even enhance your birding experience with the aid of new technologies. Build an Audubon-approved home for these species: Bewick’s, Carolina, or House Wren; Prothonotary Warbler; Eastern, Western, or Mountain Bluebird; Ash-throated or Great Crested Flycatcher; Tree Swallow or Violet-green Swallow; Juniper, Oak, Black-crested, or Tufted Titmouse; Barred Owl; Eastern or Western Screech-owl; Barn Owl; Northern Flicker; American Kestrel; Black-capped, Carolina, or Mountain Chickadee; Wood Duck; Hooded Merganser; Purple Martin; Mourning Dove; Barn Swallow; American Robin; House Finch; and Eastern or Say’s Phoebe.
