Neltje Blanchan introduces the common birds of American gardens, fields and woods family by family: the robin and its thrush relations, acrobatic nuthatches and chickadees, warblers, vireos, the bobolink rising from the meadow in song. She describes how each looks, sounds, nests and feeds, with the aim of making children into watchers rather than collectors.
