Birds of the Air
Birds of the Air introduces the youthful reader to bird life. This timeless 1901 reprint begins with birds of home and garden and ends with water birds and birds of prey. Children learn how to identify birds, why birds sing songs, how they build nests, lay eggs, and raise their young, where they sleep, and how they feed in summer, migrate in autumn, and survive the winter. Eight color illustrations and numerous black and white drawings complement the text.
