Excerpt from Handbook of Birds of Eastern North America: With Keys to the Species and Descriptions of Their Plumages, Nests, and Eggs, Their Distribution and Migrations and a Brief Account of Their Haunts and Habits With Introductory Chapters on the Study of Ornithology, How to Identify Birds and How to Collect This added material will be found in the introductory pages, which number 116, as compared with 31 in the original edition. Here I have dealt with those phases of bird-life which, to a greater or less extent, enter into the existence of every species. These chapters on migration, song, nesting habits, color, structure and function, food, etc., may be read not only alone, but they are intended to be a guide to the study in life of any bird to which we may devote our attention. In short, they are designed to arouse an interest in the bird in relation to its environment, and to stimulate and direct original observations.
