Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Our Western Birds, Vol. 9 IT is a matter of common notice that bird-life offers the most attractive outdoor object of interest to the average schoolboy. The almost human personality of birds, their varied form and color, their ceaseless activity, their evasiveness, - a11 conspire to arouse an intense curiosity. And why should we not en courage this curiosity? Ii properly directed, it is certainly a valuable and ready incentive, to be seized upon and harnessed into the process of education. The keenness and accuracy of observation cultivated by the overcoming of that very elusive ness so characteristic of birds, will remain long after the bird itself is forgotten. It is a significant fact that many of our greatest scientists and professional men admit their earliest active interest to have been in bird-study, to which stage in their mental development we may attribute a good part of that training so invaluable in their later more serious lines of work. In the following simple descriptives, my mother and I have tried to help arouse and direct interest in bird-study among school-children, as well as, possibly, older folks. It has been our aim to present a fair amount of information, but diluted with enough of the commonplace, so as not to balk the most timid spirit of inquiry. We want the reader to finish each.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of the West: An Account of the Lives and the Labors of Our Feathered Friends The author of this little volume is not a scientist, he is only a nature-lover and he would be astonished and disappointed if everyone should agree with all that he has written. He has found a pleasure in tramping about the woods and the streams, in seeing nature at first hand and an almost equal pleasure in reading of what others have seen and loved. It would be nice indeed to give credit where credit is due but where should I begin and where could I end? A father and mother who taught me to see things and to love them, an old half-breed Indian who in my childhood showed me many a sacred spot of earth, an old shoemaker who now in his ninetieth year and "livin' on borrowed time" still has the heart of a ten-year-old, unnumbered bevies of school children who have followed me "up hill and down dale" giving me a thousand eyes with which to see, Audubon Wilson, Nuttall, Thoreau, Burroughs, Seton and many more may claim a share of whatever of worth there may be within these covers.

Download or read book Birds of South Dakota Classic Reprint written by William H. Over and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of South Dakota Effort has been made in this bulletin to obtain as complete a list of South Dakota birds as possible. In all, 322 species and subspecies have been recorded. With few exceptions these are represented in the University Museum collections at Vermillion. There is perhaps no State in the Union where bird study is more perplexing than in South Dakota. From east to west the State embraces birds of woods, prairie and mountains. The range of many birds is constantly moving westward, and this causes variation in the migrating routes of many species. The Black Hills, lying only a little apart from the Rocky Mountains, are apt to be visited occasionally by western species. From south to north, likewise, both trees and latitude affect the bird problem. The Missouri River with its wooded banks and ravines, traversing the middle of the State, provides conditions which attract some species farther north than they would otherwise come. But for this fact we probably would not have the beautiful Western Blue Grosbeak within our borders. Birds from farther east and south also, such as Cardinals and Wood Thrushes, follow the growing trees into South Dakota. Many birds are found in the southern part of the State which are never seen in the northern part; and some birds which formerly nested in South Dakota no longer do so. So numerous, therefore, are the changes going on in bird life within the State that observations which were made a few years ago may not be accurate today and observations made today may not be accurate tomorrow.

Download or read book List of Birds Found in West Virginia Classic Reprint written by Earle Amos Brooks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Birds Found in West Virginia The birds have been collected, mounted, and placed on exhibition in these rooms, and should be prized by those who have opportunity to study them. Few states have better collections. By additions, which we hope to make from time to time, the list will soon be complete, representing all the species and sub-species of birds that are found in West Virginia. The total list of birds, which the writer has compiled, includes about two hundred and fifty species that have been found by himself and other bird students within the borders of the state. There is no doubt that, after some years of observation, our list of West Virginia birds may include as many as three hundred species and sub-species. If this collection of 331 specimens, representing 193 species and sub species of West Virginia birds, is used as it should be, it will be such a help to those who seek to know more of the birds of our state that many persons will soon become interested, will be on the look-out for birds both common and rare, and will soon swell the list of our own native birds to far more than 250.

Download or read book The Birds of Wyoming Classic Reprint written by Wilbur C. Knight and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Wyoming Being a geologist it may appear strange for me to pose as the author of a bird bulletin. No doubt I should apologize for undertaking work of this nature. A simple statement of the case will, I trust, make it plain to all why I have taken up this study. For a number of years we have had constant inquiries at the University for some literature on the birds of the state. As time went on these became more numerous but there was no one to take up the subject. Being the curator of the museum I volunteered my services five years ago, and the board have been very generous in granting me assistance. While I make no pretense at being an ornithologist, I have always been deeply interested in the birds, and at one time when a young man did spend considerable time in studying them. Upon taking up the work there were three avenues open from which I could secure data: 1, the published reports pertaining to the birds of the state. 2, observations of ornithologists or collectors in the state that had not been published. 3, to make a collection of skins, and secure as much data as possible first hand. While there was considerable material available under the first and second divisions, yet there was a wide field that had not been worked, and a great deal of valuable information to be secured. A collection was immediately started and with the valuable assistance of Chas. W. Gilmore, who was a student at that time, but at the present is in the department of palaeontology of the Carnegie Museum, rapid progress was made. The collection at this time numbers a little less than 600 skins; but in many instances there is but a single skin representing a species.

Download or read book Field Book of Birds of the Southwestern United States Classic Reprint written by Luther E. Wyman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Book of Birds of the Southwestern United States To meet a long-existing demand for a guide that in concise and convenient form will enable students to identify in the field birds of southern California and Arizona, the Birds of the Southwest ern United States is herewith presented. The territory considered includes all of Arizona, and that part of Nevada and California lying south of a line drawn from extreme northwestern Arizona, west and south through the mountain bar rier fringing the southern end of the great central valley of California, to the ocean. This area possesses the most varied and interesting avifauna of any part of North America. Of the four North American Swifts, the three exclusively western forms occur within our limits. Ranging from lowest deserts to highest mountains are found eleven species of Hummingbirds, as compared with only one east of the Mississippi; while five species of Quail contrast with the one of the eastern United States. In southern California is Mount San Jacinto, noted in biological reports, where proximity of high mountain and below-sea-level desert has produced a remarkable concentration of Life Zones, each with its characteristic species. Arizona attracts world-wide travel with its Grand Canyon drop ping from a plateau of 6000 feet elevation to the narrow river gorge a mile below. Here in a day's trip we find birds and plants of three Life Zones corresponding to the 1000 miles of latitude between Mexico and Canada; while near by are the San Francisco Peaks, rising to nearly feet, and carrying the Life Zones up through the Boreal, the whole equivalent to a northward advance to Arctic shores.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Birds of Colorado West of the lo5th meridian, and rising with extra ordinary abruptness from the plains to the east, the Rocky Mountains occupy roughly the middle third of the State. In a very general way the system forms two parallel ranges running north and south, joined by subsidiary east and west connections; between these are the great mountain parks, open Wide valleys rather bare of trees, and situated at elevations of to feet. The chief of these are North and South Parks, drained by the North and South Platte rivers, which meet out in the plains of Nebraska and join the Missouri near Omaha Middle Park, drained by the Grand River, the principal af uent of the Colorado River of the west, draining into the Gulf of California; and the San Luis Valley, draining into the Rio Grande on the south.
