This vintage book looks at the problems that are caused by various birds
and, to a lesser extent, other animals in America. It explores the
effects these animals have on other animals and plant life, including
crops, orchards, gardens, farmland, etc., offering information on how
these problems can be dealt with or avoided. This volume is highly
recommended for American farmers and is not to be missed by those with
an interest in ornithology. Contents include: "The Starling-A Problem",
"The Crossbill-An Erratic Bird", "The Squirrel Problem", "The Mind of
the Bird", "The Mind of the Insect", "Bluff", "The Real Bird",
"Trans-Atlantic Migration", "Bird Marking", "Orientation", "Birds and
the Law", "In Hungarian Marshes", "The Puszta", "Up the Danube",
"Midsummer", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly
scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing
this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete
with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
