Gray Lady, a gentle bird lover, visits a group of children at home and at school and leads them through the bird year: migration and moulting, nesting and song, and the habits of dozens of species from wrens and jays to the wood duck. Wright, a founder of the Connecticut Audubon Society, pleads throughout for the protection of wild birds.
A warm introduction to bird study from 1907, with plates by Louis Agassiz Fuertes and other leading bird artists. Download the free EPUB.
