Excerpt: ... to some quiet spot, if they have frequently been molested. If otherwise, they are nearly sure to return to the same field after the cause of alarm has disappeared. They seldom alight with the first intention. The flock descends with a gradual sweep, suddenly contracts its dimensions as the ground is approached, wheels rapidly when within a few feet of the surface, and, rising again, flies off to a considerable distance before venturing to return.; and these manoeuvres may be repeated a score of times before it will settle upon the chosen spot. When the birds have finally resolved to alight, the flock wheels repeatedly and rapidly, then dropping rather suddenly. Snow Buntings upon the wing keep up a constant chirping, and occasionally a sudden jarring sound may be heard; and as this is usually followed by an immediate deviation of the flock from its course, it has been thought by some observers to be nothing less than a word of command; but I have been able to account for it almost completely to my satisfaction. On watching with a little patience, any person may observe that simultaneously with the utterance of the peculiar sound, one bird makes a rapid dart towards a near neighbour, and the two, in their excitement, forgetting to direct their course aright, depart from the common track, thus leading the whole flock astray; for birds upon the wing are always ready to imitate any sudden movement upon the part of an object near them, whether it be a stone thrown among them or one of their number falling to the ground. That the note in question is sometimes at least one of anger I have repeatedly observed, when two of the birds have been quarrelling over their food; but it must also have some other meaning, for it is uttered in chorus by the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Shetland: With Observations on Their Habits, Migration, and Occasional AppearanceJust twenty years ago, my dear brother was preparing, with all the eagerness of a boy naturalist, to be the companion of my second visit to Shetland, where the summer was to be spent as we 10 ved best to spend it; nor is it altogether without a strange sort of fitness that he now hands me the result of his work thus begun, as he passes out of our Sight for a while. Yet the task of giving it to the world is far from easy to one who has for so many years been out of the track of natural science, though loving no earthly thing so well. I can claim but a single merit for my share in the book, - that of accuracy: for the rest, allowance must be generously made for short comings almost inseparable from work thrown unexpectedly upon a parish priest, only able to give to it the hours which could be spared, and ill spared, from occupations of a wholly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
