Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aviary, or Child's Book of Birds The texture of their plumage is indeed as worthy of attention as the tints of color, and the brilliant metallic reflections; for though they are very little birds in all the Species, and not larger than hum ble-bees in the most minute one, their plumage Is exceedingly compact, and probably forms a better defence against alternations of heat and cold, and of drought and moisture, than that of any other birds whatever. The individual feathers are beau tifully formed; and more compactly laid than those of any others, if we except the under parts espe cially, of those birds which are almost constantly in the water without ever getting wet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Book of Birds The Children's Book of Birds combines under a single cover the First and Second Books of Birds, originally published in 1899 and 1901 respectively and still popular with children in and out of school and with other beginners in the study of birds. The book is intended to interest young people in the ways and habits of birds and to stimulate them to further study. It has grown out of my experience in talking to schools. From the youngest kindergarten scholar to boys and girls of sixteen and eighteen., I have never failed to find young people intensely interested so long as I would tell them about how the birds live.

Download or read book Audubon s Aviary written by Roberta Olson and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A national treasure is celebrated in this landmark publication. The Birds of America is a monumental classic, but it has never been explored like this before. This important new volume presents all the dazzling watercolors that Audubon painted for these monumental engravings. We are familiar with the prints engraved by Robert Havell Jr., but Audubon’s Aviary illuminates the original masterpieces that were created by Audubon himself and tells the story behind their creation with fresh insights and engaging quotes from his writings. These powerful paintings—all newly photographed using state-of-the-art techniques—possess a startling immediacy, vibrancy, and fluidity that link natural history, art, and a respect for the environment. These watercolors transmit Audubon’s devotion to his craft with their inscriptions and layers of media wrought with a miniaturist’s attention to detail and their revolutionary compositions, which for the first time in history depicted all the birds life-size. Audubon is considered America’s first great watercolorist, introducing innovative approaches developed over a lifetime of study. Even judged alongside today’s technology, his dramatic tableaux remain some of the most spectacular natural history documents and visually arresting works of art ever produced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Garden and Aviary Birds of India Anglo-indian readers of the present Work will notice that birds of prey, waders, game-birds and water fowls have been omitted therefrom, although some species of these - such as the kite - are among the very commonest birds of the East; but this was done owing to exigencies of space, which compelled greater atten tion to some of the small birds. In dealing with these, also, I have endeavoured, where a choice had to be made, to deal with as many different groups as possible, rather than to particularize many species in one group, in the hope of making the book serviceable as an intro duction to the study of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home and Foreign Birds: A Book for Young Children Tee Grebe is one of the most curious of the Divers known in England, and is to be met with in the fens of the Midland Counties, and in some parts of Scotland. The legs of the bird are placed so far back, that it walks, or rather waddles, in the most awkward manner, and when it rests sits nearly upright. The feet are not webbed, and it uses the toes as paddles to swim in the water. It feeds on fish, for which it dives very boldly. On the floating weeds it makes a nest, which is often quite wet, but the bird seems to feel no discomfort, but hatches her four eggs in her little floating mansion. The flesh of the Grebe is fishy, but the skins are of some value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
