Excerpt from Bird Homes: The Nests, Eggs and Breeding Habits of the Land Birds Breeding in the Eastern United States; With Hints on the Rearing and PhotographingSO far as I know, this side Of the birds' life has been com paratively neglected. There are plenty of scientific works on oology and nidification, and so on, but hardly anything that deals with the subject from What might be called the human side. If this book helps the ordinary unscientific person to get some closer glimpse Of the birds in their roles as heads Ofa family to study their wonderfully adapted nests and beautiful eggs as manifestations Of that bird nature Which is so charmingly varied and so endlessly interesting - if it does this in any measure at all I Shall be more than satisfied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
