At Home With Wild Nature (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from At Home With Wild Nature
To the too ardent egg-collector, and especially the clutch enthusiast, whose appetite is insatiable, I would say: For Heaven's sake have mercy. All that can be known, or is worth knowing, in regard to variation in the coloration and markings of British birds' eggs has already been discovered, and there is but little room in that direction for originality. Try old china or worm-eaten furniture and give the poor birds a chance. In all conscience they need it, and there are still some people about who delight in their sweet songs and charming ways.
