It was a village with a volunteer fire department, and no general water or sewer system. There was a public pump in the street nearly opposite where we lived, to which all the neighbors went for water, -a centre Of gossip and news.

Most of the topics presented in this book have been treated in an entertaining way in many excel lent bird books, but most of these books cover only one or two phases of bird life, so that a. Person de siring to be generally informed on birds must secure several books. The bird enthusiast is glad to do this, but not the average citizen, who has no more inter est in birds than in many other topics. It is highly desirable that every citizen should be informed on the need of conserving bird life as one of our valu able national resources. It has been the purpose of the author to gather within one set of covers a brief discussion of the essential facts concerning bird life that are of general interest, which are now scattered through many books, bulletins, and magazines.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homing With the Bird: The History of a Lifetime of Personal Experience With the Birds IN the fall of 1916, while visiting at the home of Mr. F. N. Doubleday, a member of the house which publishes most Of my books, in conversation with my very dear friend Mrs. N eltje De Graft Double day, the author of a number of invaluable books on birds and ﬂowers, She began to question me about unusual experiences I encountered afield. I told her some of the things here recorded, the queerest and most peculiar things that I had seen during a lifetime Of personal contact with the birds. In the course of that intimate conversation, Mrs. Doubleday conceived and planned this book, feel ing - I hope not mistakenly - that these intimate personal experiences with birds, which so in tensely interested her, would not fail to be of equal interest to other bird lovers and protectors. She felt that these records faithfully and simply set down would add very largely to the sum of human achievement in a scientific estimate of the habits and characteristics of birds.' So, I have written for any one who is interested, these sketches of personal experience, as I outlined them to such a.

This usually produces the desired effect and the other birds leave, whereupon he proceeds to carry off the food and hide it in crevices in the bark where it will be most available to himself and least available to his competitors. Ordinarily, the other birds leave before the Nuthatch comes into the field of the camera, but the preceding photograph shows him in action when a Sparrow, either more brave or more stubborn than the rest, has clung to his post by the food.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Year With the Birds This little book is nothing more than an attempt to help those who love birds, but know little about them, to realize something of the enjoyment which I have gained, in work-time as well as in holiday, for many years past, from the habit of watching and listening for my favourites. What I have to tell, such as it is, is told in close relation to two or three localities: an English city, an English village, and a well-known district of the Alps. This novelty (if it be one) is not likely, I think, to cause the ordinary reader any difficulty. Oxford is so familiar to numbers of English people apart from its permanent residents, that I have ventured to write of it without stopping to describe its geography; and I have purposely confined myself to the city and its precincts, in order to show how rich in bird-life an English town may be. The Alps, too, are known to thousands, and the walk I have described in Chapter III., if the reader should be unacquainted with it, may easily be followed by reference to the excellent maps of the Oberland in the guide-books of Ball or Baedeker.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Birds and Their Nestlings Since permanent interest in any subject cannot be awakened through occasional lessons, it is believed that much profit will come from a few weeks' continuous read ing along a single line, - reading which will create a love for the beautiful through understanding. Ignorance closes the door to much of our best' literature, which can be interpreted only through a sympathetic familiarity with nature. Color, sound, and movement are always attractive to childhood, and nowhere can they be found in such pleas ing combination as in the bird world. The study of its busy little inhabitants in their natural environment will not only add pleasure to the walks of the child, but will help him to a knowledge of the adaptation of all life to its surroundings. It will also lead to the intelligent appreciation of litera ture and music. Since the birth of time the birds have inspired poets and musicians. They have also given the keenest pleas ure to countless thousands who have never attempted to express what they felt. To interest a child in these guests of our groves, - these feathered entertainers who are also workers in our fields and orchards, - is to put him in possession of a wellspring of interest as enduring as life itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Bird Friends and Foes The bird branch of the animal tree, since forking off from its reptilian stem, has grown much and ﬂowered beautifully. How much more admirable, for instance, is the soft plumage of the bird than the harsh body mail of the reptile. How much more pleasing by contrast are the notes of birds, some of them among the best music in the world, to the glum silence of reptiles, broken only by threatening hissing. Birds have a monopoly of feathers; every feathered animal is a bird. No bird lacks feathers; no other crea ture has them. Feathers not only have proved wonder fully adaptable in aiding the bird to ﬂy, but they have developed as down and thickly set body plumage, that enable the bird to resist cold, to ﬂoat like a cork on icy waters, and even to repose on the ice itself, enveloped in a thick downy mantle that shuts out the killing frost. Birds made a great and wonderful advance when they left behind that reptilian inheritance of cold blood, which bound them to the tropics, and began to develop a warm blooded circulation. Now their systems are so efficient in keeping up body temperature that birds are the warm est of all living things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 4 The entire plumage of this bird is a shining black with a dull blue gloss over it, the legs and beak a lovely coral red; total length about 15 inches, wing 103/4 inches, tail 51/2 inches. The sexes are alike in colouring, the female being slightly the smaller of the two. The young birds attain their full plumage at the end of the second year: before this their beaks are of a dull yellow colour. It builds in most inaccessible places, seeking out the steepest parts of the cliffs, and the nest is often at the end of a cleft with several turnings, and is composed of sticks, roots, and dry grass, lined with wool and grass. The eggs are four or five in number, of a yellowish white spotted with ash grey, purple, or light brown. Size about 11/4 ins. by 1 ins. The Chough feeds on insects and grain of various sorts, berries, and some kind of small shell-fish which it picks up on the shore. That it is getting scarce is sadly true: this fact has been observed in the West of Ireland, the South of England, and Scotland. There are many reasons given for its diminishing numbers: "Some say it is the Jackdaws, And others they say Nay, Its just the man who's got a gun And likes to blaze away." I am glad to see these birds are included in the Wild Birds Protection Act 1880. This bird appears in the Schedule which applies to every County in England, Scotland, and Ireland.
