Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Jamaica White of Selbourne has somewhere expressed the gratification which would be afforded to him by a sight of the hirundz'nes of the hot and distant island of Jamaica. We know, in fact, exceeding ly little of the biography of tropical animals - of those details of their habits, which are to be known only by a close and continued observation of them in their woodland homes. The present volume may perhaps contribute an acceptable item to the amount of information, derived, as it is, entirely from original investigation. Nearly two hundred species of birds are.

He cannot doubt that many species have escaped the researches both of himself and his friends, especially among the migrant visi tors. The valuable assistance, however, of a resident Ornithologist, whose notes pervade this volume, and to whom he would here express his deep gratitude, have greatly diminished the omis sions which must otherwise have been unavoid able.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Cuba For a charming companionship and a patient tolerance of my erratic ways I owe more to Winthrop Sprague Brooks than I can well express. For many years it has been Brooks' good fortune and mine to visit Cuba frequently, and during the War we were there for long periods of many months' duration. Our duties during this time did not permit of much collecting, but constant travelling afforded many chances for observation. On previous and subsequent journeys we have made extensive collections, all of which are now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, except such specimens as have been distributed in exchange.

Download or read book Our Birds and Their Nestlings Classic Reprint written by Margaret Coulson Walker and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Birds and Their Nestlings In most cases they are birds of conspicuous plumage, these being most easily recognised. To avoid monotomy, all decriptions have been relegated to the appendix. An attempt has been made to enlist sympathy with, as well as to awaken interest in, bird life, for the interest without sympathy, in this case, would only encourage the naturally destructive instincts of childhood. For the purpose of showing the importance of birds in literature, as well as for the purpose of calling into play the aesthetic faculty, poems and legends have been included. All hackneyed poems have been avoided. For their generous permission to use valuable copy-righted material, intebtedness is gratefully acknowledged to Houghton, Miffin & Co., Small, Maynard & Co., D. Appleton & Co., and Our Dumb Animals Publishing Co.; to Mrs. Margaret Sangster, Mr. Eben Rexford, Mr. Clinton Scollard, and Mr. Frank Dempster Sherman. For the photographic illustrations, I am especially indebted to Mr. Francis Hobart Herrick, an earnest bird student and an enthusiastic photographer, who has kindly permitted me the use of some of the remarkably fine photographs used in illustrating his interesting book, The Home Life of Wild Birds, a book with which all bird students are already familiar. Mr. Frank M. Chapman, Mr. A. R. Dugmore, Mr. John Cameron, Miss Ruth Shutts, Mr. James Miller, and the Recreation Publishing Co., have also assisted me in the same way. Want of space precludes the individual mention of a number of my associates to whom I am indebted for both counsel and good-natured critism.
