Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Every Bird; A Guide to the Identification of the Birds of Woodland, Beach and Ocean: With One Hundred and Twenty-Four Line Illustrations
Having long felt that the identification of a bird would be much less difficult to beginners in the Study of Ornithology, if they could have a book in which every genus was illustrated by an ao curate outline drawing of the head and foot, with a description of the general plumage void entire of technical terms, I offer this volume to the bird lover. The systematic headings enable one to turn quickly to the information desired, the species one wishes to identify being found under the caption: - Woodland, Beach or Ocean, and their sub headings, according to which the bird belongs. The size of the volume, also, makes it a convenient manual to carry with one into the field. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
