Bird Friends: A Complete Bird Book for Americans

Excerpt from Bird Friends: A Complete Bird Book for Americans

These pages are written, not only for the bird lover, but also for the general reader who has no special interest in birds, but who is interested in those matters that pertain to community welfare.

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.
