Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Australian Bird Book: A Pocket Book for Field Use
This little volume is intended as a pocket book for field use, so that the many teachers, nature-students, nature - lovers, schoolboys, schoolgirls, and boy scouts, who like to see what they look at, may be able to name the birds they meet.
The first step towards knowing the birds is a desire to know them; this will grow if a person is interested; so our first busi ness, as in all nature-study work, is to arouse interest. Interest follows at once, as we have often found, if a person realizes that what is about him or her is worthy of study.
To arouse this necessary interest, a lecture on Australian birds is given in such a form that it may be repeated, if desired.
