Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 2 This handsome South African Whydah, Chera procue, is described by Dr. Butler as follows: - "When in colour the male bird is gloss black, the underparts having the appearance of watered silk: a large patch of brilliant scarlet covers the lesser wing-coverts, the medium coverts being yellowish white, the greater coverts and flights edged with white or pale brown, but the primaries only near the end of the outer web: the legs and beak are dull red, iris brown. Length, including the tail, usually averaging 191/2 inches, though specimens sometimes occur in which the tail alone attains a length of 18 inches; probably only in very old birds." This description, together with the excellent drawing by Miss Brooksbank, here reproduced, should enable the reader to form a good idea of the bird. The female, and the male in winter plumage, present the sparrow-like appearance of Whydahs out of colour. In its native land this species is known by various names, such as Kaffir King, Kaffir Chief, Kaffir Fink, Sackabuller, and Long-tailed Widow-bird.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 4 I was staying in the West of Ireland when these birds first won my heart. The two I refer to were taken from the nest very young, and so petted and companionable had they become, that, stranger to them though I was, they used to swoop into my bedroom window and alight on my pillow with much cawing, and scolding, too, if I dared ever so gently to remove them. I am rather afraid to let the two I am happy enough to possess fly loose, like my friends in Mayo; and the charm of their perfect tameness and their love for human companionship cannot be seen to full advantage; but there are so many young puppies, dogs and cats about that my heart fails me to open the aviary doors, and let them range at their own sweet will.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird-Notes, Vol. 8: New Series If more members will contribute articles on their birds, whether breeding results or merely as collections of birds, we shall be able to look forward to 1918 to be even a better year than any that have gone before. During the past year this terrible war has claimed some of our most liberal supporters. Both financial and literary. They will never be forgotten, and we shall always remember they were proud of the Club Journal. We ask you one and all to do your best to make good this loss - we owe it to those who have given their lives in this world-struggle, and who. Amid the heat of conflict, found time to contribute to the Journal. To those, one and all, who have suffered bereavement we extend our deepest sympathy. Let us hope that before 1918 closes. Peace will again reign, and those scattered in the various war areas will have returned home again, and the next report be written under much happier auspicies than the above.

Excerpt from Notes on the Birds of Northamptonshire and Neighbourhood, Vol. 2 This bird, which is known as Norfolk Plover, Stone-Plover, Great Plover, Thick-knee, and Short-billed Curlew, as well as by the name at the head of this article, is a rare straggler into our county. I find in my journals only two records of its occurrence within our limits as by law defined; the first of these was communicated to me by letter from the late H. O. Nethercote, Esq., of Moulton Grange, in the following words, dated July 11th, 1880: - "On Monday, May 10th, I was a-tennising at Arthingworth; Rokeby (the rector of that village) said 'I have a rare bird to show you, wounded this morning by a shepherd and brought to me.'

Book Description
Excerpt from Birds of America, Vol. 2 To learn the proper use Of the opera-glass, select some bird, if possible, that is sitting still. Have your back to the sun. Focus the glass on the tree, and then the bird by noting the position Of the branch and Sighting the glass as you would a gun. Note the size of the bird. It will be difficult at first to judge the size in inches, but you may compare it with certain common and well-known birds. You may have a scale Of sizes, beginning with the Yellow Warbler or Chipping Sparrow, and reading like this: Chipping Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Bluebird, Catbird, Robin, Dove, Crow. Observe these birds well; note the size of each. Turn to your book, and get it in inches. Write it down; commit it to memory; have it always in mind. By making good use of such a scale, you may become expert in judging size by comparison. Next, the shape of the bird is important. Note whether the bird as a whole is Slim or stout. Some allowance may be made as to how the feathers are carried at the time. All birds can raise or lower the feathers Of the body at will. If you can see the shape of the beak, you may be able to refer the bird at once to the family in which it belongs. If it is not much larger or smaller than a Song Sparrow, and has a short, conical bill, probably it is a Sparrow. If it is a little smaller than a Song Sparrow or about the size of a Chippy, and has a short but slender bill, a tri e curved, probably it is a Warbler, or belongs to some other insect-eating family. The length and Shape of the tail are important. Try to see whether the tail is long or Short, rounded, square, or forked. If the bird is large, with a hooked beak and long tail, probably it is a Hawk. If the beak is long and straight, or nearly so, the tail short and the legs long, it must be a Heron, or some other wader. The color of the bird is very important; indeed, it is about the only feature ordinarily Observed. First, note the color of the upper part, i. E., the top and Sides of head, back and sides of neck, back, wings, and tail; next, that of the under parts throat, front of neck, breast, and belly. Remember that the breast and belly Often will seem darker than they really are, on account of being in shade; thus a pure white will seem gray. Be careful to note just where each color actually is; then note any conspicuous mark, for such a mark alone, taken with the size Of the bird, Often is enough to establish its identity.
