Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pine Hills Bird Notes Long before the birth of Odin Mute was thunderous ocean's roar Stillness o'er the huge earth brooding, Strand was none, nor rocky shore. Imir sat in lonely sadness, Watching o'er the fruitless globe; Never morning beamed with gladness; Never eve with dewy robe. OR ages earth turned a hard, barren face to the sun. There were no birds, no flowers, no soul life. God had made the earth but had not created man. Everywhere silence reigned, save when broken by the extreme throes of creative nature. Ages passed, and With shadows cool and sweet, With silence like a prayer, Breathing, brooding everywhere, man was created. The once sterile earth blos somed, fruited; and over all the sun serenely shone. Happily were man's days cast with sing ing birds and flowering fields, for through the divine ways of nature he should seek and find the higher life the human soul that within him ran. Thus the love of nature so widely spread as to become almost universal, calls Come forth and bring with you a heart That watches and receives. No barriers cramp or crowd in nature's realm. Her fields are Open and far-reaching, and the harvest sure and plentiful. Her wild bird chorusis making every grove a temple and every sun rise a worship. She links the human soul to her work, and man rises to kinship with his creator. Nature is a generous teacher. The study is not burdensome nor difficult. She demands no scientific training. She makes it possible to know the flowers without botanical aid, and all her creative work without the hard climb up the steep cliffs of science. She asks only that man see and hear the things God has given to make the world and life beautiful. They who have the way of seeing and hearing these God-given things stand at the open gate of the King's highway, heirs to a source of happiness others know not of. It is beyond man to know why we are made happy by the things seen and heard in nature, nor can man explain the many and varied feelings that course through the heart when we approach nature with loving appreciation. A simple song from the hedgerow, a comely flower from the wild will often give thoughts too deep for care less comprehension thoughts that lead to a closer fellowship with nature and nature's God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 4 I was staying in the West of Ireland when these birds first won my heart. The two I refer to were taken from the nest very young, and so petted and companionable had they become, that, stranger to them though I was, they used to swoop into my bedroom window and alight on my pillow with much cawing, and scolding, too, if I dared ever so gently to remove them. I am rather afraid to let the two I am happy enough to possess fly loose, like my friends in Mayo; and the charm of their perfect tameness and their love for human companionship cannot be seen to full advantage; but there are so many young puppies, dogs and cats about that my heart fails me to open the aviary doors, and let them range at their own sweet will.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 2 This handsome South African Whydah, Chera procue, is described by Dr. Butler as follows: - "When in colour the male bird is gloss black, the underparts having the appearance of watered silk: a large patch of brilliant scarlet covers the lesser wing-coverts, the medium coverts being yellowish white, the greater coverts and flights edged with white or pale brown, but the primaries only near the end of the outer web: the legs and beak are dull red, iris brown. Length, including the tail, usually averaging 191/2 inches, though specimens sometimes occur in which the tail alone attains a length of 18 inches; probably only in very old birds." This description, together with the excellent drawing by Miss Brooksbank, here reproduced, should enable the reader to form a good idea of the bird. The female, and the male in winter plumage, present the sparrow-like appearance of Whydahs out of colour. In its native land this species is known by various names, such as Kaffir King, Kaffir Chief, Kaffir Fink, Sackabuller, and Long-tailed Widow-bird.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Notes, 1923, Vol. 6: The Journal of the Foreign Bird Club, for the Study of All Species of Birds in Freedom and Captivity In bird notes for 1913 I gave a few notes on the breeding Of Turtle Dove hybrids, etc.. A brief summary Of same being that in the spring of 1913 a first cross hybrid male dove (the produce of a d Turtle and a 9 Barbary Dove) mated with a Common Barbary hen and bred and reared three young. Two being fawn-coloured like an ordinary Barbary Dove. And one grey (a male) like the ground colour of the parent hybrid father, all with a Slight distinguishing mark in the beak. This mark, which enabled me to distinguish my hybrid fawns from pure Barbary Doves, was the red colour Of the eshy base or gape of beak. They also showed a slight fullness later. In the width Of the neck rings, especially at the Sides. But the rings met at the back of neck just as in the Common Barbary. In 1914 I mated this young grey male to a common Barbary hen, my net result being two youngsters, one grey and one fawn; these were indistinguishable from the type of the true Barbary, in every way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird-Notes, Vol. 8: New Series If more members will contribute articles on their birds, whether breeding results or merely as collections of birds, we shall be able to look forward to 1918 to be even a better year than any that have gone before. During the past year this terrible war has claimed some of our most liberal supporters. Both financial and literary. They will never be forgotten, and we shall always remember they were proud of the Club Journal. We ask you one and all to do your best to make good this loss - we owe it to those who have given their lives in this world-struggle, and who. Amid the heat of conflict, found time to contribute to the Journal. To those, one and all, who have suffered bereavement we extend our deepest sympathy. Let us hope that before 1918 closes. Peace will again reign, and those scattered in the various war areas will have returned home again, and the next report be written under much happier auspicies than the above.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 5 My Senegal has a very individual character of his own, and shows great determination and persistence in trying to get his own way. He is extremely affec tionate, but has a very hasty temper, and if spoken to harshly, gets at once into a rage, which is, however, over in a minute. He understands all I say to him, and makes me understand everything he wants either to do or to have. And that is generally the same thingevery day at the same hour. For example, he is accustomed to have sopped toast every morning at breakfast, and if I do not give it to him at once, he calls me by name until he gets it. He will learn to say anything he hears a few times, and imitates the cries of all other creatures, including those of street urchins. We have had several cats since I had the bird, and he never shows any fear of them, and more than once he has played about on the floor with a cat nearly full-grown. On one occasion the cat upset the table on which his cage stood, apparently without upsetting in any way the mental equilibrium of the parrot, who was found quite calm and told us he was all right as well as he could. He knows those who are not afraid of him, and they can do what they like with him, but I never allow him to go close to those who are afraid of him, as he is likely to bite them, Of course he has bitten me many times, on occasions when I crossed him, but he has never offered to bite a man or anyone who is a stranger to him. He loves to be out of his cage, and in the evening after daylight is gone, will sit for hours on a little stand, or on my shoulder. In the day he wants to be biting my hair or dress, so I cannot have him on me very much. He never seems to feel the cold weather, and summer and winter his cage stands by an open Window. I was rather surprised to be told by a keeper at the Zoo. That three fine specimens of the Senegal Parrot had died, not long after they had been placed there. However, that was some years ago, and -i hope that under the improved con ditions those they now have will flourish. I think that if I had never owned the Ideal Parrot ofwhom I wrote some years ago, I should consider it impossible to have a more interesting and lovable pet than my Senegal. C. L. Collier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature's Invitation: Notes of a Bird-Gazer North and South Winter. Dead leaves make an agreeable carpet, as they rustle cheerfully-sadly under one's feet in autumn; but there was no rustle here the snow had pressed every leaf flat and left it sodden. One thing consoled me: I had not arrived too late. The bud-crowned Spring, for all my fears, was yet to go forth. The next morning it was not enough to say that it was cloudy. That impersonal expression would have been quite below the mark. We were cloudy. In short, the cloud was literally around us and upon us. As I stepped out of doors, a rose-breasted grosbeak was Singing in one dirco tion, and a white-throated sparrow in another, both far away in the mist. It was strange they should be so happy, I was ready to say. But I bethought myself that their case was no different from my own. It was comparatively clear just about me, while the fog shut down like a curtain a rod or two away, leaving the rest of the world dark. So every bird stood in a ring of light, an illuminated chantry all his own, And sang for joy, good Christian bird, To be thus marked and favored.

Download or read book By Ways and Bird Notes Classic Reprint written by Maurice Thompson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By-Ways and Bird Notes The mocking-bird has been called the American nightingale, with a view, no doubt, to inflicting a compliment involving the operation, known to us all, of damning with faint praise. The nightingale presumably is not the sufferer by the comparison, since she holds immemorial title to preeminence amongst singing-birds. The story of Philomela, however, as first told, was not an especially pleasing one, and the poets made no great use of it. Nowhere in Greek or Roman literature, so far as I know, is there any genuine lyric apostrophe to the nightingale comparable to Sapphos fragment To the Rose; still the bird has a prestige gathered from centuries of poetry and upheld by the master romancers of the world. To compare the song of any other bird with that of the nightingale is like instituting a comparison between some poet of to-day and Shakespeare, so far as any sympathy with the would-be rival is concerned.
