Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Common Birds and How to Know Them This is, indeed, a serious dilemma, sufficiently embarrassing and disheartening; but it is to the student arrived at such a despondent frame of mind that the writer hopes to be of use, both with his advice and by means of the plates herewith presented. As for the advice, though of the simplest, it is believed that it will prove effective. It will be given in detail in the following pages; but the most important, if the least startling features of it, may be here brie y stated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird-Life: A Guide to the Study of Our Common Birds How unusual it is to meet any one who can correctly name a dozen of our birds! One may live in the country A and still know only two or three of the one hundred and fifty or more kinds of birds that may be found during the year. Nevertheless, these gay, restless creatures, both by voice and action, constantly invite our attention, and they are far too interesting and beautiful to be ignored. No one to whom Nature appeals should be without some knowledge of these, the most attractive of her animate forms. The scientific results to be derived from the study of birds are fully realized by the naturalist. But there are other results equally important. I would have every one know of them: results that add to our pleasure in field and wood, and give fresh interest to walks that before were eventless; that quicken both ear and eye, making us hear and see where before we were deaf and blind. Then, to our surprise, we shall discover that the forests and pastures we have known all our lives are tenanted by countless feathered inhabitants whose companionship will prove a source of endless enjoyment. I would enter a special plea for the study of birds in the schools; for the more general introduction of ornithology in natural-history courses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Birds: Common Birds of Town and Country and American Game Birds Would that the same could be said of the sportsman who almost invariably is at heart a nature lover, though the primi tive instinct to kill is uppermost. Many sportsmen, however, who formerly fol lowed wild creatures only to kill, have abandoned the use of rifle and shotgun, and today are finding greater pleasure in studying and photographing their former quarry than they did in pursuing it with murderous intent. A real interest in wild life leads naturally to a love of Nature in all her varied manifestations, and this, in all lands and under all circumstances, remains a source of lasting pleasure.

There are some 40 species, with nearly as many subspecies, in North America. Not more than half a dozen forms are generally known in any one locality. All the species are more or less migratory, but so widely are they distributed that there is probably no part of the country where some can not be found throughout the year.

Download or read book Birds and Nature in Natural Colors Vol 1 of 5 written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds and Nature, in Natural Colors, Vol. 1 of 5: A New Edition, Page Plates of Forty-Eight Common Birds by Color Photography, a Guide in the Study of Birds and Their Habits The first of the 82 parts of the original edition of Birds and Nature was published January, 1897, and at once took first place among the works on Nature Study. Volume I reached a sale of more than fifty thousand copies. In December, 1904, 16 volumes with 648 color plates had appeared and twenty-five thousand complete sets sold. The text plates were destroyed and the work has been out of print for several years. So this is not a revised edition, but a new edition, by writers of authority on birds, their foods, habits, their economic value; also the little good and much harm the very few birds do. The color plates are the best that can be made; they were awarded the Grand Prize at the Paris Exposition in 1900 and the Gold Medal at the Worlds Fair, St. Louis, 1904. The 240 plates in Birds and Nature, together with 408 others of birds, animals, plants and flowers, insects, shells, minerals, fish, etc., cost over sixty thousand dollars ($60,000), and they are likely to remain for at least another 17 years the largest and best collection of color plates of Natural History in the world. The color plates are so natural as to enable one to identify birds at a glance. No effort of expense or pains has been spared to achieve the highest possible excellence in this work. It is the fruit of twenty years of labor. While 648 plates were used in the first edition of 16 volumes, the publisher believes that five volumes with the best 240 plates of the 240 most common birds of the United States and Canada will meet with more favor, and it is not very likely that 240 such exquisite color plates will appear in a similar work for a good many years to come. Many features commend this edition; the type, print and paper are good, right size of page and the volumes of 192 pages of text and 48 pages of color plates to each volume make books that are easy to handle and a joy to possess. Not since Audubon's Birds of America, published in 1830-39, eighty-three years ago, has there been published a work on Ornithology to at all compare with Birds and Nature, which has stood and remains a monument to the study of Birds and the debt we owe them. Audubon's Birds of America have sold as high as $3,000. He used the gun and drawing material. Birds and Nature used the color-photograph process - photographing each color - made plates of each color and printed each color separately so as to blend and make all colors true to life. The color plates are not reproduced from paintings, but from the real birds in nature - hence the exact colors. In addition to the 240 birds illustrated in colors, 160 others are described, making 400 of the best known and most important birds of the United States and Canada.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Birds of Southeastern United States in Relation to Agriculture The Carolina wren (fig. 4) is resident from the Gulf of Mexico north to the southern boundaries of Iowa, Illinois, and Connecticut in the breeding season, but in winter withdraws somewhat farther south. It is a bird of the thicket and undergrowth, preferring to place its nest in holes and crannies but when necessary will build a bulky Structure in a tangle of twigs and vines. Unlike the house wren it does not ordinarily use the structures of man for nesting Sites. It is one of the few American birds that Sing throughout the year. Most birds sing, or try to, in the mating season, but the Carolina wren may be heard pour ing forth his melody of song every month. The writer's first introduction to this bird was in the month of January when he heard gushing from a thicket a song which reminded him of June instead of midwinter. This wren keeps up the reputation of the family as an insect eater, as over nine tenths of its diet consists of insects and their allies. In this investigation of its food there were examined 291 stomachs, representing every month. Their con tents were made up of per cent animal matter, nearly all insects, and per cent vegetable, chiefly seeds. A very marked uniformity in the diet is notice able, the winter season Showing almost as great a consumption of insects as the summer.

Download or read book Bird Studies written by Herman C. De Groat and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Studies: For Home and School; Sixty Common Birds, Their Habits and Haunts This book is the outgrowth of four years of experience in the preparation of bird lessons for a city school of more than two thousand pupils. After beginning this line of nature work with much trepidation and many protests, the teachers soon came to favor and enjoy it. From the first lesson Bird Study was popular with the children, who looked forward to the bird lesson as the brightest hour of the week. The first purpose of this book is to present to teachers a short course in one branch of nature study in such a form that they may easily prepare themselves to teach it. It is of little use to outline courses of study in nature work and direct teachers to formulate practical lessons accordingly. Few teachers have the time, the experience or the training to enable, them to select material for proper nature lessons. They need assistance which outlines lacking the subject-matter-cannot give them. This book presents the lessons ready for class use. A second purpose is to offer to young people in school and at home a series of simple lessons on sixty common birds, the most of which may be seen in parks or woods, in city or country. In view of the intimate relation which birds bear to agriculture, a knowledge of their habits is of the highest importance to us. All observers of birds soon become bird lovers and strong defenders of their rights. If this book helps to promote a more intelligent appreciation of the usefulness of birds, and creates in some measure a more determined purpose to protect and preserve them from harm, it will have accomplished its highest aim.

Download or read book Twenty Six Common Birds written by Ralph Hoffmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Six Common Birds: To Accompany Audubon Bird Charts This pamphlet is issued by the Massachusetts Audubon Soci ety, for the Protection Of Birds, to accompany its Wall Chart of colored drawings of twenty-six common birds. The objects of the society are to discourage the wearing of feathers, except those of the ostrich and domesticated fowls; to establish a Bird Day in con junction with Arbor Day in the schools; to promote the knowledge of birds in the community and to protect all wild birds and their eggs from needless destruction. The society circulates good lit erature on the subject, and accurate illustrations of birds. It seeks new members. A new member is added strength for necessary work, and is one more person interested to reform the fashion of wearing feathers of wild birds. The society's publication, Helps to Bird Study, was favorably received, and it is hoped that this leaflet and the chart will be of further assistance to teachers. The chart should be hung in a conspicuous place on the wall, so that the birds, by inviting constant examination, will become familiar. It should be used to supplement Nature work and general reading whenever convenient. The society is indebted to Mr. Ralph Hoffmann, of Belmont, Mass., for the descriptions of the birds found in this pamphlet, and for his valuable assistance in supervising the preparation of the chart. The illustrations on the chart have been especially drawn for the society by Mr. E. Knobel. The number following the common name of the bird is the number of that bird on the chart. Size of Chart, 29 x 42 inches, printed on heavy paper. Price, unmounted, backed with cloth and mounted on rollers like a map, $1. 30. If its sale indicates that it meets a need and serves to promote the public appreciation of birds, it is proposed to issue a second chart with figures of additional species. The two charts will illustrate all the species commonly Observed. Orders for the chart should be addressed to the Prang Educational Company, Washington Street, Boston. For information regarding the society, address the secretary, Miss Harriet E. Richards, care of Boston Society of Natural History, 234 Berkeley Street, Boston.
