DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Stories of Bird Life MY purpose in writing these stories and sketches of birds has been that I might make others acquainted with the ways of some of the wild birds which have been of so much interest to me. Should they serve to give the reader a little more intimate ao quaintance with our feathered neighbors of the field and woodland, my main object will have been accomplished. These stories are not fanciful, but are true to bird life. The Arredondo Sparrow Hawk, ruffle-breast and Socrates were partien lar birds well known to others as to me. In the case of the Bob white family, and Bib-neck, the Plover, I have combined into the lives of a few birds incidents I have known to occur to many. The accounts of Visits to birds' nests, bird colonies and the like are given as they occurred. In the Appendixes some suggestions are offered to the student and the teacher.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Bird Stories From Burroughs: Sketches of Bird Life Taken From the Works of John Burroughs J ohn burroughs's first book, Wake Robin, contained a chapter entitled The In vitation. It was an invitation to the study of birds. He has reiterated it, implicitly if not ex plicitly, in most of the books he has published since then, and many of his readers have joy fully accepted it. Indeed, such an invitation from Mr. Burroughs is the best possible intro duction to the birds of our Northeastern States, and it is likewise an introduction to some very good reading. To convey this invitation to a wider circle of young readers the most interest ing bird stories in Mr. Burroughs's books have been gathered into a single volume. A chapter is given to each species of bird, and the chapters are arranged in a sort of chronological order, according to the time of the bird's arrival in the spring, the nesting time, or the season when for some other reason the species is particularly con spicuous. In taking the stories out of their orig inal setting a few slight verbal alterations have been necessary here and there, but these have been made either by Mr. Burroughs himself or with his approval.
