The idea here is to present a bird book in which the beginner or the
child can get in simple language the fundamental facts of bird study. Mr.
Pearson, as Secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies,
is one of the best informed writers on birds in America.
He is just the author to kindle enthusiasm. A few of the questions and
subjects suggested by a reading of “The Bird Study Book” are:
How to get on neighborly terms with the birds.
Do birds have more than one mate?
Bird spinsters.
What bird is called the “Outcast”?
What birds winter in your particular locality?
How many birds are there in the world?
Birds that are no more—the story of the Labrador Duck, the Great Auk, the
Wild Pigeon.
All about bird boxes.
