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.

The last one I saw was one April day, when I went over to the creek to see if the suckers were yet...

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 ...

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.
