Excerpt from Bird Studies With a Camera: With Introductory Chapters on the Outfit and Methods of the Bird Photographer What is Bird Photography? - Bird photography, as I would encourage its practice, does not mean simply photographing birds, it means the use of the camera as an aid in depicting the life histories of birds. A picture of the bird itself is, of course, of the first importance, but any fact in its biography which the camera can b...

Excerpt from Our Winter Birds: How to Know and How to Attract Them When we draw the shades in summer there is warmth outside as well as in. The leaves seem to rustle contentedly in the night breeze.

Excerpt from Bird Lore: An Illustrated Bi-Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Study and Protection of Birds Dr. Goues' distinguishing characteristic, as a man, was a virility of mind, which forced his powers to the utmost, resulting in his enormous productivity, and. Eventually, his premature death. As an ornithologist, he was eminent as an anatomist, systematist, nomenclator. Bibliographer, and biographer. Doubtless his peers exist in any of th...

Excerpt from Bird-Lore, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Bi-Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Study and Protection of BirdsMy first Warbler in the spring is usually the Yellow Redpoll, which I see in April. It is not a bird of the trees and woods, but of low bushes in the open, often alighting upon the ground in quest of food. I sometimes see it on the lawn. The last one I saw was one April day, when I went over to the creek to see if the suckers were yet...

Excerpt from The Travels of Birds: Our Birds and Their Journeys to Strange Lands It is true that man makes longer journeys than birds do. But it is also true that he could not make them without help from other men. He might walk where there was land, but he would need days to go as far as a bird could go in an hour. And when he comes to the sea he requires a sailing vessel or steamer with charts and maps and compass to aid him in finding the ...

Excerpt from Color Key to North American Birds: With Bibliographical Appendix Frank To Learn to call a bird by its right name is the first step in the study of ornithology. We may propose to investigate the structure, food, and habits of the birds of the world, or desire merely a superficial knowledge of the species found in our garden, but in either case we are at once confronted by this question of identification. From the scientific point...

Excerpt from The Warblers of North America The Warblers have been described as "our most beautiful, most abundant, and least known birds." The knowledge that at certain seasons our woods, and even the trees of our larger city parks arc thronged with an innumerable host of birds, the brilliancy of whose plumage rivals that of many tropical species, comes to the bird student with the force of a surprising discovery. One never forgets one's firs...

Excerpt from The Economic Value of Birds to the State Destroy the trees and the insect finds new food in the crops of the farmer, but the birds, although food is still abundant, lose their home when the tree falls, and, lacking the nesting-sites and protection from their enemies once found in its Spreading branches, they soon perish.

Excerpt from Bird-Life: A Guide to the Study of Our Common BirdsHow unusual it is to meet any one who can correctly name a dozen of our birds! One may live in the country and still know only two or three of the one hundred and fifty or more kinds of birds that may be found during the year. Nevertheless, these gay, restless creatures, both by voice and action, constantly invite our attention, and they are far too interesting and beautiful to be...
