Excerpt from book: Chapter III. OUR WINTER BIRDS. Aftee several years' careful observation in Southern New Jersey, I find that winter gives us a phase in the life and character of birds quite unlike that displayed in summer by the same species, yet none the less interesting. The permanent residents of this latitude which come about our house and grounds are the song-sparrow, field- sparrow, English sparrow, yellow-bird, pine-linnet, bluebird, robin, meadow-lark, quail, blue-jay, crow, and several species of hawks and owls.

Especially if the ground be covered with snow, they will learn to become clamorous for their food, even alighting on the window-sills and striking the glass, apparently to attract attention totheir wants. In summer the same species are much more shy, so winter gives us a better opportunity to study the habits and dispositions of the various birds which remain with us. With most species family ties are not broken in winter. Bluebirds, perhaps more so than most of our birds, maintain a strict family relation during the winter, even while assembling in large flocks. Not only do the partners remain true to each other during their lives, but they continue their care over the young throughout the first fall and winter. When a pair of bluebirds succeed in rearing three broods in a season, in the autumn these broods unite and stay with the parents, making...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
