    The Bird Study Book

    Written by Thomas Gilbert Pearson

    Narrated by Victoria Bradley

    About this audiobook

    The Bird Study Book (1917) is a bird-handbook by Thomas Gilbert Pearson.

    Excerpt from the book: "This book was written for the consideration of that ever-increasing class of Americans who are interested in acquiring a greater familiarity with the habits and activities of wild birds. There are many valuable publications treating more or less exhaustively of the classification of birds, as well as of form, color, distribution, migration, songs, and foods.

    Here an attempt is made to place before the reader a brief consideration of these and many similar topics, and suggest lines of action and thought that may perhaps stimulate a fuller study of the subject. Attention is also given to the relation of birds to mankind and the effect of civilization on the bird-life of the country."
