Omschrijving

Birds And Bees, Sharp Eyes And Other Papers is a collection of essays written by the American naturalist and essayist, John Burroughs. The book is divided into three sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of nature. The first section, Birds And Bees, contains essays on the behavior and habits of various bird and insect species. The second section, Sharp Eyes, explores Burroughs' observations of wildlife in his native New York state, including deer, raccoons, and woodchucks. The final section, Other Papers, covers a range of topics, including the beauty of the natural world, the joys of outdoor living, and the importance of preserving the environment. Throughout the book, Burroughs' love of nature and his deep appreciation for the wonders of the natural world are evident, making this a delightful read for anyone who shares his passion for the great outdoors.How surely the birds know their enemies! See how the wrens and robins and bluebirds pursue and scold the cat, while they take little or no notice of the dog! Even the swallow will fight the cat, and, relying too confidently upon its powers of flight, sometimes swoops down so near to its enemy that it is caught by a sudden stroke of the cat's paw. The only case I know of in which our small birds fail to recognize their enemy is furnished by the shrike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
