Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of the Chicago Area The fine city parks of Chicago are the most favorable localities in which the birds may be studied with afield glass. The wooded island in Jackson Park is an excellent place for the study of the water loving passeres, such as the Prothonotary Warbler, Water Thrushes and Swamp Sparrows. Lincoln Park (see plate II) one and one-half miles long, bordering on Lake Michigan, with its lagoons and lakes, numerous wooded knolls and hills, is a wonderfully attractive locality for the study of birds. On Septem ber 18, 1894, in one small patch of bushes near the greenhouse, I found twelve Specimens of the Connecticut Warbler.

Download or read book The Bird written by Colin Tudge and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • How are birds so good at flying and navigating? • Why are birds so like mammals– and yet so very different? • Did birds descend from dinosaurs, and if so, does that mean birds are dinosaurs? • How do they court each other and fend off rivals? • What' s being communicated in birdsong? • Can we ever know how birds think? In this fascinating exploration of the avian class, Colin Tudge considers the creatures of the air. From their evolutionary roots to their flying, feeding, fighting, mating, nesting, and communicating, Tudge provocatively ponders what birds actually do–as well as why they do it and how. With the same curiosity, passion, and insight he brought to redwoods, pines, and palm trees in his widely acclaimed book The Tree, Tudge here studies sparrows, parrots, and even the Monkey-eating Eagle to better understand their world–and our own. There is far more to a bird's existence than gliding gracefully on air currents or chirping sweetly from fence posts–the stakes are life and death. By observing and explaining the complex strategy that comes into play with everything from migration to social interaction to the timing of giving birth to young, Tudge reveals how birds are uniquely equipped biologically to succeed and survive. And he offers an impassioned plea for humans to learn to coexist with birds without continuing to endanger their survival. Complete with an "annotated cast list" of all the known birds in the world– plus gorgeous illustrations–The Bird is a comprehensive and delightfully accessible guide for everyone from dedicated birders to casual birdwatchers that celebrates and illuminates the remarkable lives of birds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Year With the Birds Among civilized people those are the most cheerful and happy, if possessed of a benevolent heart and favored with the ordinary gifts of fortune, who have acquired by habit and education the power of deriving pleasure from the objects that lie immediately around them. But these sources of happiness are open to those only who are endowed with sensibility, and who have received a favorable intellectual training. The more ordinary the mental and moral organization and culture of the individual, the more far-fetched and dear-bought must be his enjoyments. Nature has given us in full development only those appetites which are necessary to our physical well-being. She has left our moral powers and affections in the germ, to be developed by education and reflection. Hence that serene delight that comes chiefly from the exercise of the imagination and the moral sentiments can be felt only by persons of superior and peculiar refinement of mind. The ignorant and rude are dazzled and delighted by the display of gorgeous splendor, and charmed by loud and stirring sounds. But the more simple melodies and less attractive colors and forms, that appeal to the imagination for their principal effect, are felt only by individuals of a poetic temperament.

Download or read book Ecological Poetics or Wallace Stevens s Birds written by Cary Wolfe and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems of Wallace Stevens teem with birds: grackles, warblers, doves, swans, nightingales, owls, peacocks, and one famous blackbird who summons thirteen ways of looking. What do Stevens’s evocations of birds, and his poems more generally, tell us about the relationship between human and nonhuman? In this book, the noted theorist of posthumanism Cary Wolfe argues for a philosophical and theoretical reinvention of ecological poetics, using Stevens as a test case. Stevens, Wolfe argues, is an ecological poet in the sense that his places, worlds, and environments are co-created by the life forms that inhabit them. Wolfe argues for a “nonrepresentational” conception of ecopoetics, showing how Stevens’s poems reward study alongside theories of system, environment, and observation derived from a multitude of sources, from Ralph Waldo Emerson and Niklas Luhmann to Jacques Derrida and Stuart Kauffman. Ecological Poetics is an ambitious interdisciplinary undertaking involving literary criticism, contemporary philosophy, and theoretical biology.
Download or read book Snowbird written by Ellen D. Ketterson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most familiar North American birds, the snowbird, otherwise known as the Dark-eyed Junco, can be seen darting across forest floors, pecking at suburban birdfeeders, and foraging at the edges of parks, streams, and roads all across the continent. By one estimate, upwards of 630 million Juncos populate North America: twice the number of people living here in the U.S. No Bird Like the Snowbird: Integrative Approaches to Understanding Evolutionary Diversity in the Avian Genus Junco presents diverse expertise not just on the Dark-eyed Junco, but on the Junco genus more broadly. Collectively, the contributors draw on research, methods, and findings from organismal biology and evolutionary biology in order to show how juncos match their physiology and behavior to their environment via endocrine and timing mechanisms, and how Junco evolutionary history can provide insight into population divergence and the formation of new species. In so doing, they not only provide a definitive account of the Junco genus and speak to the its continuing importance as a model organism in a time of rapid global change, they also merge two major biological fields that are typically kept apart, with the goal of offering biologists an integrative framework for further studies into adaptation and population divergence.

Blanchard of Chicago, Vol. 1 of 3 The occasional splash of a trout, as it rose at a fly, sounded pleasantly in this youth's ears, and the merry song of a lark high up in the Skies, the note Of a cuckoo in a tall sycamore close at hand, and the whistling and twittering of the various birds in the trees and bushes, accompanied by the drone of the bees as they hovered about him, made the air resound with harmony and gladness but there seemed to be no responding chord in his heart, for his expressive face was clouded with melancholy, While his large blue eyes gazed before him with a dissatisfied, yet wistful expression.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Birds on Hillside, Rock, and Dale Ome additional results of wanderings in bird land since the publication of Wood/and, Field, and S/zare, are given in this book. I have endeavoured to picture with pen and camera the homes and haunts of those birds which I have met with. Some of these are well known, and may be seen during an afternoon ramble in any of our country lanes and woods; others are rare, and their haunts are little known; some readers of this book may never have seen such, and therefore I hope that my accounts of their wild homes will be found acceptable.

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.
