Bird Stories from Burroughs

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Stories From Burroughs: Sketches of Bird Life Taken From the Works of John Burroughs John Burroughs's first book, "Wake-Robin," contained a chapter entitled "The Invitation." It was an invitation to the study of birds. He has reiterated it, implicitly if not explicitly, in most of the books he has published since then, and many of his readers have joyfully accepted it. Indeed, such an invitation from Mr. Burroughs is the best possible introduction 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 interesting 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 conspicuous. In taking the stories out of their original 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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bits of Bird Life: Selections From the Youth's Companion Near my study there used to stand several Old apple-trees that bore fair crops of apples, but better crops Of birds. Every year these Old trees were the scenes Of bird incidents and bird histories that were a source Of much interest and amusement. Young trees may be the best for apples, but Old trees are sure to bear the most birds. If they are very decrepit, and full of dead and hollow branches, they will bear birds in Winter as well as summer. The downy woodpecker wants no better place than the brittle, dozy trunk Of an apple-tree in which to excavate his winter home. My Old apple-trees are all down but one, and this one is probably an octogenarian, and I am afraid cannot stand it another winter. Its body is a mere shell not much over one inch thick, the heart and main interior structure having turned to black mold long ago. An Old tree, unlike an Old person, as long as it lives at all, always has a young streak, or rather ring, in it. It wears a girdle Of perpetual youth.

Excerpt from The Wonders of Bird Life: An Interesting Account of the Education, Courtship, Sport Play, Fighting Other Aspects of the Life of Birds The interest of a bird's life story begins with the very earliest days while the chick is still in the egg, unborn, and there is no reason why we should not take that as our starting point; indeed, if we do so, we shall meet at once with some of the most remarkable and beautiful instances of the way in which Nature has made provision for carrying on her work of aiding and safeguarding the appearance on the earth of a new living creature.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Friends: A Complete Bird Book for Americans These pages are written, not only for the bird lover, but also for the general reader who has no special interest in birds, but who is interested in those matters that pertain to community welfare. Most of the topics presented in this book have been treated in an entertaining way in many excel lent bird books, but most of these books cover only one or two phases of bird life, so that a. Person de siring to be generally informed on birds must secure several books. The bird enthusiast is glad to do this, but not the average citizen, who has no more inter est in birds than in many other topics. It is highly desirable that every citizen should be informed on the need of conserving bird life as one of our valu able national resources. It has been the purpose of the author to gather within one set of covers a brief discussion of the essential facts concerning bird life that are of general interest, which are now scattered through many books, bulletins, and magazines.
