Projects with Birds

Many of us enjoy watching birds in our gardens or parks, or in the countryside. But how do we find out about what these birds are doing? What questions should we ask and how can we find the answers? What information is still badly needed? Here the observer will find 80 suggested bird watching activities; projects that will bring great interest and enjoyment, increase his knowledge and understanding, involve him deeply, spur him on to further research suited to his circumstances, and enable him to add useful information to the findings of professional ornithologists. The importance of using a field note-book is explained, and then projects dealing with nests, song, food, behaviour and other aspects of bird life are described and illustrated. There are also ideas connected with bird photography, making hides and indoor pursuits. Some of the activities are simple and straightforward; others more advanced. There are full details of where to report properly noted findings, addresses, and a bibliography. Illustrated. Slight crease on front cover.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).…
