About This Book

The author provides a popular, habitat-organized survey of bird-life across northern shires, combining field observation with comparative notes on how latitude and climate alter distribution, migration, breeding seasons, and behavior. Separate chapters treat upland streams, moors and roughs, mountains and lochs, heaths and marshes, woods and copses, farm and garden, rivers and pools, sea and shore, crags and sea-cliffs, and migration, offering species accounts, seasonal calendars, nesting notes, and anecdotes from prolonged local experience, accompanied by illustrations that clarify identification and life habits.

FOOTNOTES

[1] “Rough”, a local name for wild, uncultivated, rocky lands on the borders of the moors, clothed with coarse herbage, bramble, heath, and a variety of Vacciniaceæ, sphagnum, and other plants.

[2] Conf. Zoologist, 1878, p. 29.

[3] We say nothing about the migrations of the House Sparrow, because at
present they are not at all clear. The bird visits the lighthouses and light-vessels
in spring and autumn, but the movement is not yet clearly defined.
