Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Some Common Birds Who that is not physically incapacitated has not enjoyed the luxury of walking across meadows and fields, when nature was displaying the unfolding charms and budding graces of spring? Such excursions are healthful, and can be made profitable as opportunities for studying various forms of life. Early in the spring the yellow heads of the dandelions beseech us at frequent intervals not to crush out their fleeting beauty, and as we gaze over some portions of the meadows we imagine that we are treading the veritable Field of the Cloth of Gold - that gold which "Is the Springs largess, which she scatters now To rich and poor alike, with lavish hand." At a safe distance ahead of us the striped ground-squirrel sits erect saucily to survey us before whisking into his many-tunneled burrow, and when we have passed his retreat he emerges to whistle shrilly, as though deriding our apparent inability to injure him. The birds also frequently claim the attention of the lover of nature, for in the open country we shall meet species interesting and handsome.

The indigo bird is the brightest colored sparrow that visits the north, but one can hardly believe that the sprightly dandy, clad in his rich blue suit, is the mate of the inconspicuous brown bird that seeks assiduously to conceal herself in the leafy cover, as though a bit ashamed of the contrast between her working suit and the holiday garb of her spouse. The indigo is a frequenter of sprout land, of brushy thickets and of Open woodland. And the male is fond of singing his cheerful lay from the topmost twig of a tall shrub or tree, as though challenging the world to produce his equal. For such a dainty bird, the nest is a singularly inartistic structure and very carelessly built. It is placed in the crotch of some low leafy bush and is not at all difficult to find.

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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Common Birds in Their Relation to Agriculture It has long been known that birds play an important part in relation to agriculture, but there seems to be a tendency to dwell on the harm they do rather than on the good. Whether a bird is injurious or beneficial depends almost entirely upon what it eats, and in the case of species which are unusually abundant or which depend in part upon the farmer's crops for subsistence the character of the food often becomes a very practical question. If crows or blackbirds are seen in numbers about cornfields, or if woodpeckers are noticed at work in an orchard, it is perhaps not surprising that they are accused of doing harm. Careful investigation, however, often shows that they are actually destroying noxious insects, and also that even those which do harm at one season may compensate for it by eating noxious species at another. Insects are eaten at all times by the majority of land birds, and during the breeding season most kinds subsist largely and rear their young exclusively on this food. When insects are unusually plentiful, they are eaten by many birds which ordinarily do not touch them. Even birds of prey resort to this diet, and when insects are more easily obtained than other fare, the smaller hawks and owls live on them almost entirely. This was well illustrated during the recent plague of Rocky Mountain locusts in the Western States, when it was found that locusts were eaten by nearly every bird in the region, and that they formed almost the entire food of a large majority of the species. Within certain limits, birds feed upon the kind of food that is most accessible. Thus, as a rule, insectivorous birds eat the insects that are most easily obtained, provided they do not have some peculiarly disagreeable property. It is not probable that a bird habitually passes by one kind of insect to look for another which is more appetizing, and there seems little evidence in support of the theory that the selection of food is restricted to any particular species of insect, for it is evident that a bird eats those which by its own method of seeking are most easily obtained.
