BIRDS FOR BEGINNERS BOOK - 100 BIRD SPECIES DESCRIBED

BIRDS FOR BEGINNERS

Hard to Find Out of Print Book by Olive Seymour

Birds for Beginners is a book for children which adults new to the delights of bird watching will continually ask to borrow. Olive Seymour's love for her study is conveyed so sincerely that this little volume becomes an inspiration as well as an introduction. While many reference books are concise and clear, they have a scientific basis which can be bewildering to the novice. They make make interesting reading yet be of only limited help to the amateur in the field. Olive Seymour's book overcomes these problems.

Birds for Beginners sets out the basic principles of bird studies and it approaches nature study from a practical instead of an academic viewpoint. The novice bird watcher is advised where to look, how to look and what to look for. He is shown how to record notes, how to identify birds, and how to encourage them to feed in his own garden. Bird classification, nests and eggs, camoflauge, calls and migration patterns are simply explained.

Over 100 birds are described in detail in the reference section. The expert illustrations aid identification and provide a model for the amateur compiling his own notes. The birds are indexed by common names. A list of Common and Scientific Names furrther enhances the value for Birds for Beginners as not only a reference book in its own right but also a sound preliminary to an advanced study on birds.
