This vintage book looks at the problems that are caused by various birds and, to a lesser extent, other animals in America. It explores the effects these animals have on other animals and plant life, including crops, orchards, gardens, farmland, etc., offering information on how these problems can be dealt with or avoided. This volume is highly recommended for American farmers and is not to be missed by those with an interest in ornithology. Contents include: "The Starling-A Problem", "The Crossbill-An Erratic Bird", "The Squirrel Problem", "The Mind of the Bird", "The Mind of the Insect", "Bluff", "The Real Bird", "Trans-Atlantic Migration", "Bird Marking", "Orientation", "Birds and the Law", "In Hungarian Marshes", "The Puszta", "Up the Danube", "Midsummer", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
