Tales from Birdland (Classic Reprint) by T. Gilbert Pearson Pdf

Excerpt from Tales From Birdland Perched on the hillside are the scattered houses where the people live. In the midst Of these stand two or three stores and in front Of them the fishermen and lobstermen meet when they are not at work. They sit in the sunshine and smoke their pipes, and as they look out over the bay they tell many a tale Of the stormy seas. One Of the men who used to sit here was Mark Thaw. His hands were rough, and his boots Often went long without a shine; but his eyes were kind, and the stories he told were good to hear.

In Bird Land (Classic Reprint) by Leander S. Keyser Pdf

Excerpt from In Bird Land Looking out of my study window one fair spring morning, I noticed a friend - a professional man - walking along the street, evidently taking his "constitutional." Having reached the end of the brick pavement, he paused, glanced around a moment undecidedly, and then, instead of walking out into the beckoning fields and woods, turned down another street which led into a thickly populated part of the city. Surely, I mused, we are not all cast in the same mould. While he carefully avoided going beyond the suburbs and the beaten paths, as if afraid he might soil his polished shoes, I should have plunged boldly into the country, "across" lots, to find some sequestered nook or grass-grown by-way, "far from human neighborhood," to hold undisturbed converse with Nature.

Katie of Birdland by Edith Kinney Stellmann Pdf

Excerpt from Katie of Birdland: An Idyl of the Aviary in Golden Gate Park There are cages so large that the little winged folk inside of them scarcely real, ize that they have not the freedom ofthe universe. Nor do they know that the great stretch of three dimension wire walls, which keep them in, are also for the purpose of keeping out cruel enemies of their own kind who would prey upon them, from the belligerent sparrows, which are not much larger than the canaries themselves, to the big hawks which circle far up into the sky. There are many of these wire houses, because feathered folk don't know much more about brotherly love than Humans and, if they were all put into a single domicile - no matter how large - they would scold and fight and even kill one another over something to eat, a place in the sun, a choice apartment in some particular tree or, perhaps, jealousy about a lady bird. Altogether they are very much like people in their habits, emotions and acts. One may learn a great deal in the Aviary.

Adventures in Bird-Land (Classic Reprint) by Oliver Gregory Pike Pdf

Excerpt from Adventures in Bird-Land Last summer, on visiting the Orkney Islands, I found that a certain collector had been there two years previously and had actually travelled under my name. This collector knew well that I was staying in the heart of Wales for several weeks. He was well received by certain people, and then, when he had used my name as a protector of birds, to find out the haunts of the rarest species, he decamped with a big haul of clutches. I have no actual proof as to who this person was, but he was described to me as a tall man, with fair, curly hair, who usually wore military puttees. It is needless to say that such underhand action is calculated to cause me serious embarrassment in my work. I mention this to warn gentlemen that they should be careful in giving away the haunts of rare birds to strangers. The conduct I have described is certainly the meanest thing that I have ever known a collector to do, being altogether unworthy of one who calls himself an ornithologist.

The Little White Bird by J. M. Barrie Pdf

Excerpt from The Little White Bird: Or Adventures in Kensington Gardens Sometimes the little boy who calls me father brings me an invitation from his mother: "I shall be so pleased if you will come and see me," and I always reply in some such words as these: "Dear madam, I decline." And if David asks why I decline, I explain that it is because I have no desire to meet the woman. "Come this time, father," he urged lately, "for it is her birthday, and she is twenty-six," which is so great an age to David, that I think he fears she cannot last much longer. "Twenty-six, is she, David?" I replied. "Tell her I said she looks more." I had my delicious dream that night.

A Love Supreme by Ashley Kahn Pdf

Few albums in the canon of popular music have had the influence, resonance, and endurance of John Coltrane's 1965 classic A Love Supreme-a record that proved jazz was a fitting medium for spiritual exploration and for the expression of the sublime. Bringing the same fresh and engaging approach that characterized his critically acclaimed Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece, Ashley Kahn tells the story of the genesis, creation, and aftermath of this classic recording. Featuring interviews with more than one hundred musicians, producers, friends, and family members; unpublished interviews with Coltrane and bassist Jimmy Garrison; and scores of never-before-seen photographs, A Love Supreme balances biography, cultural context, and musical analysis in a passionate and revealing portrait.
