Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thoughts for the Kit-Bag The author of this little volume is known in California as an authority on birds, her books being used as textbooks in the schools of the state. Her lovely home in Pasadena is known as the "Birds Retreat" and is a sort of Mecca for bird-lovers from everywhere. I have spent many a delightful afternoon with her, roaming over her beautiful grounds, as she talked on how many sorts of weed-seeds the linnets eat, and the phoebe´s habit of "sitting all alone," and how the woodpeckers scatter their chips about the base of the tree they are working in, and how the warbler makes believe he is wounded when the nest is approached, and how the mocking bird can take a butterfly on the wing, or a grasshopper on the jump. Ah me! "What peaceful hours I once enjoyed; How sweet their memory still!" And Mrs. Grinnell is not only an ornithologist; she is a many-sided naturalist and a voluminous writer along other lines.
