Book Description
Excerpt from Nature Studies in Field and Wood Natural History is a great subject, - a stupendous one. It embraces all out-of-doors. Go where he will, the naturalist will find a wealth of material awaiting him. This book is not in any sense a Natural History, - it is merely an "awakener" to bring to the attention of those who like to ramble in field and wood, the many absorbingly interesting things that await the investigator. There is nothing that will so develop the senses of perception and the powers of observation as the study of the hosts of animate and inanimate things that abound everywhere. I have often taken country walks with people who certainly must miss more than half the joys of such outings. The song of a Scarlet Tanager directly overhead attracted not a single glance; the angry chipperings of a squirrel were unheard; the beautiful canary-like song of the Indigo Bunting might just as well not have been sung as far as my companion was concerned; even the scare and surprise at the thunderous noise of a Ruffed Grouse that flushed from almost under foot did not interest him enough to notice the nest-full of eggs that she had left. While such things are not all-important, it would appear to me that a person alive enough to note the common things that were happening about him would be better able to cope with any situation in life that might occur, than one blind to them. I believe every boy and every girl should be educated to know the common birds, flowers, mammals, insects, etc. I think it will not be a very distant day when this recreative-study will be a regular part of every school course, even as it is now in a great many.
