      There are two classes of words commonly applied to swifts: words about ethereality, and violent words. They are not contradictory. The violence makes the ethereal accessible. Swifts lay open the sky so that we can go there. They slash the veil. If th

      A great addition to a birding book collection. Beautiful illustrations. A bit heavy anded on evolution, but good overall.
    • 5/5
      My daughter says when I get to Heaven it will be full of birds and wildflowers, and I will know all their names. That is why I collect books like this. Zim's book was my first and favorite nature guide.
    • 4/5
      This is a good intro guide to bird species around the US. I got this book in elementary school at a book fair, and I still use it! Very helpful, with great pictures. Well-organized, easy to use. It doesn't have as extensive a listing as some guides, but would be perfect for the casual backyard birdwatcher.

    A MONTHLY SERIAL

    DESIGNED TO PROMOTE

    KNOWLEDGE OF BIRD-LIFE

    "With cheerful hop from perch to spray,

    They sport along the meads;

    In social bliss together stray,

    Where love or fancy leads.

    Through spring’s gay scenes each happy pair

    Their fluttering joys pursue;

    Its various charms and produce share,

    Forever kind and true."

    PREFACE.

    T has become a universal custom to obtain and preserve the likenesses of one’s friends. Photographs are the most popular form of these likenesses, as they give the true exterior outlines and appearance, (except coloring) of the subjects. But how much more popular and useful does photography become, when it can be used as a means of securing plates from which to print photographs in a regular printing press, and, what is more astonishing and delightful, to produce the real colors of nature as shown in the subject, no matter how brilliant or varied.

    We quote from the December number of the Ladies’ Home Journal: "An excellent suggestion was recently made by the Department of Agriculture at Washington that the public schools of the country shall have a new holiday, to be known as Bird Day. Three cities have already adopted the suggestion, and it is likely that others will quickly follow. Of course, Bird Day will differ from its successful predecessor, Arbor Day. We can plant trees but not birds. It is suggested that Bird Day take the form of bird exhibitions, of bird exercises, of bird studies—any form of entertainment, in fact, which will bring children closer to their little brethren of the air, and in more intelligent sympathy with their
