Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of Our Western Birds, Vol. 9 IT is a matter of common notice that bird-life offers the most attractive outdoor object of interest to the average schoolboy. The almost human personality of birds, their varied form and color, their ceaseless activity, their evasiveness, - a11 conspire to arouse an intense curiosity. And why should we not en courage this curiosity? Ii properly directed, it is certainly a valuable and ready incentive, to be seized upon and harnessed into the process of education. The keenness and accuracy of observation cultivated by the overcoming of that very elusive ness so characteristic of birds, will remain long after the bird itself is forgotten. It is a significant fact that many of our greatest scientists and professional men admit their earliest active interest to have been in bird-study, to which stage in their mental development we may attribute a good part of that training so invaluable in their later more serious lines of work. In the following simple descriptives, my mother and I have tried to help arouse and direct interest in bird-study among school-children, as well as, possibly, older folks. It has been our aim to present a fair amount of information, but diluted with enough of the commonplace, so as not to balk the most timid spirit of inquiry. We want the reader to finish each.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Birds of the West: An Account of the Lives and the Labors of Our Feathered Friends The author of this little volume is not a scientist, he is only a nature-lover and he would be astonished and disappointed if everyone should agree with all that he has written. He has found a pleasure in tramping about the woods and the streams, in seeing nature at first hand and an almost equal pleasure in reading of what others have seen and loved. It would be nice indeed to give credit where credit is due but where should I begin and where could I end? A father and mother who taught me to see things and to love them, an old half-breed Indian who in my childhood showed me many a sacred spot of earth, an old shoemaker who now in his ninetieth year and "livin' on borrowed time" still has the heart of a ten-year-old, unnumbered bevies of school children who have followed me "up hill and down dale" giving me a thousand eyes with which to see, Audubon Wilson, Nuttall, Thoreau, Burroughs, Seton and many more may claim a share of whatever of worth there may be within these covers.
