Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Handbook of Birds of Eastern North America: With Keys to the Species and Descriptions of Their Plumages, Nests, and Eggs, Their Distribution and Migrations and a Brief Account of Their Haunts and Habits With Introductory Chapters on the Study of Ornithology, How to Identify Birds and How to Collect If this book had been written in the last century it might have been entitled "Ornithology made Simple, or How to Identify Birds with Ease, Certainty, and Dispatch." It may be unworthy so comprehensive a title, nevertheless I have made an honest endeavor to write a book on birds so free from technicalities that it would be intelligible without reference to a glossary, and I have tried to do this in a volume which could be taken afield in the pocket. I have not addressed an imaginary audience, nor have I given my prospective readers what, theoretically, I thought they ought to have, but what personal experience with students of birds has led me to believe would meet their wants. The preparation of this work has firmly convinced me that the poet would have been nearer the truth had he written "One touch of nature makes the whole world kind" In the succeeding pages I have attempted to express my appreciation of the assistance which naturalist friends and associates have generously given me, but here I desire to especially thank Miss Florence A. Merriam, Dr. J. A. Allen, and Mr. Ernest E. Thompson for much valuable criticism and advice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
