Nature Study Birds : A Book for Beginners in Bird Study

This children's illustrated book was published in 1911.

Excerpt from the Introduction:

This book is prepared for the large number of wide-
awake boys and girls who are interested in the study and
observation of our wild birds. It will be of the greatest
assistance to novices, those just entering the field of orni-
thology, as the study of birds is called. I am quite sure that
those already well versed in bird lore will find the many
facts worked into the bird stories to be of interest and value
to them.

It may be of interest to note that every occurrence or in-
cident relating to bird life is based on actual facts and not
imagination.

The book is divided into two parts, the first containing
many facts concerning bird life in general— facts which
everyone should know as a matter of information and facts
that every student of birds must know before he or she can
make satisfactory progress. The second part contains bird
stories as related to Dorothy and Dick by their "Uncle
George." The forty birds illustrated and talked about rep-
resent practically all the families of birds anyone except the
professional naturalist is apt to find.

The index in the back of the book contains not only the
names of the birds included in its pages, but additional data
in regard to their ranges, etc.
