The Magpie's Nest (Classic Reprint) by Isabel Paterson Pdf

Excerpt from The Magpie's Nest Hope was apparently all alone in the centre of a vast unpeopled reach Of yellow grass and pale blue sky. Very far off and dim were the mountains. She meant some day to go and see what was beyond them. Yet, when she topped the rise which gave her a sight of home, and beheld saddled horses which betokened strange guests, standing patiently at the corral, she hesitated a long ten minutes and then made a wide de tour, coming into the house by the kitchen door.

The Magpies: The Ecology and Behaviour of Black-Billed and Yellow-Billed Magpies by Tim Birkhead Pdf

Two species of magpie feature in this book, the Black-billed Magpie, familiar to most Europeans, which occurs throughout much of the northern hemisphere, and the Yellow-billed Magpie, which is confined to California. Magpies are unmistakable in their appearance, voice and extrovert, arrogant manner. While their persecution at the hands of gamekeepers over the last hundred years has made them wary and difficult to approach, a number of recent field studies, both in Europe and North America, have successfully revealed the intricacies of the magpie way of life. Tim Birkhead has studied both species, and has produced a fascinating account of their ecology and behaviour. Many of the results from his ten-year study of magpies in northern England are published here for the first time. Particularly revealing however is his comparison of the two species and of their different races. Magpies occur in a wide range of habitats, including English farmland, the deserts of North America, the mountains of Saudi Arabia and the windswept plateaus of Tibet. As this book explains, magpies are able to exploit this diversity of habitats largely through their remarkably flexible social behaviour. The Magpies covers all aspects of their lives, including their marital relationships, food hoarding behaviour, longevity and survival, nesting behaviour, breeding success and their controversial relationship with man. The text is supported by numerous photographs, diagrams and tables, and superb illustrations by David Quinn.

Excerpt from Story Plays Old and New, Vol. 2 Woodpecker I would first cut a hole in the trunk of a tree. Then I would hollow a place out inside. That's what I'm going to do as soon as I can find a tree that suits me. Thrush I see just how you do it, Magpie. All one needs to make a nest is some mud. I know a place in the meadow where that is to be found. I am going to it right away. My nest will be ready very soon. Magpie Thrush Thrush Dear me, she doesn't hear me. A nest made of mud may satisfy her; it wouldn't me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
