Book Description
Excerpt from The Feathered Tribes of the British Islands, Vol. 1 of 2 IN submitting these volumes to the public, to whom I have the feeling that I am bound to be grateful, I have not the vanity to suppose that I have materially extended what is usually termed the science Of Ornithology. I have formed no system, I have followed no systematist, I have drawn up no nomenclature of shapes or Of colours, and I have not counted the feathers, or the scales or reticulations on the tarsi, of a single bird. Therefore, I conclude, that my little book is without the province Of either the praise or the censure Of the profound. I should also suppose, that most Of what I have written must appear so ragged and incomplete out of its connection, that my book will escape the in glorious martrydom Of being backed and hawked in pennyworths, ere it has had even a chance for life.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Feathered Tribes of the British Islands, Vol. 2 of 2 Thus they have altogether a more polar locality. In the temperate latitude of Britain, where the winds from the sea keep the surface clear of snow for the greater part of the winter, the greater number of them are resident; and any that do come as visitants, come only in the winter, and from countries farther to the north, or Where the snow falls more thickly, or lies longer. They migrate more on the continent, because the seasonal variations, being less tempered by the vicinity of the sea, are greater there; and hence the occasional visitants are more numerous in proportion to those that come regularly, than in the case of the summer birds. So far as has been observed, the resident species of British birds of this order are more numerous, in proportion to the visitants and stragglers, than in the insectivoro'us birds; and as the visitants come at a time when birds flock or congre gate, and not when they spread themselves over their pastures as they do in the breeding season, the winter stragglers are better seen than the summer ones.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Feathered Tribes of the British Islands, Vol. 2 of 2 This, however, is sufficient to lead to other distinctions, such as those of locality and season. Insects in their advanced state, whether as larvæ or as perfect, are children of the sun and the summer; and it is when they are in those states, that they are best suited for the food of birds. The supply of them is consequently an equatorial and a summer supply, fluctuating northward and southward with the apparent annual motions of the sun; and the summer migratory birds, flit along with it, for a greater or less range, according to their structure and habits. The supply of vegetable food is, to a considerable extent, just the reverse. Birds do not feed upon the perfect or growing vegetable - the stalk, the leaf, or the flowers; vegetable matter in an inactive state, accumulated in the lobes of seeds and kernels, or in the hybernacula of buds, is that upon which they feed; and though there be a succession of small seeds upon some herbaceous plants during the greater part of the summer, the grand vegetable harvest is a store prepared in the autumn, to last during winter, and be ready for new action when spring returns. As the situation is farther distant from the equator, the vegetable harvest becomes more decided, and the seeds of plants become more firm in their integuments, so as better to resist the cold. The fertility of some of those plants is astonishing; the dock or thistles of a single acre would sow a county; and there are others even more prolific. The hundredth part of them is not wanted for the supply of vegetation, and there is, therefore, abundance to spare for the birds.
