nation. You will see a bird and
think something like thiS-"It is
about the size of robin, but too
short" and in some other ways it
differs from those birds you do
know. So you just eliminate those
birds that you know it is not,
The shape of the bird is very i'm
portant: you should record any
peculiarity of shape that you can
see. In recording the color try to
get details, as any one OF a dozen
small things may decide what the
bird really is. Draw rough sketch
of the whole bird and indicate dis
tinguishing marks.
The voice of the bird is important.
too, for the descriptions of the birds
that you will find in books are gen.
erally of the males. The females
are often so plain that they are hard
to know and their voices are gen.
orally confined to chirps or calls.
The recording of actions includes
q number of things. You should note
whether the birds walk or jump If
On the ground, whether they cling
TO the bark and climb about,
whether they fly straight ahead, or
In spurts and dips from closing the
wings until they start to come down;
If they soar on motionless wings
until they start to come down,
whether they are alone, with one
mate or in f1ocks, if they seem to
feed mostly on the ground, in the
trees or on the wing; what they
eat-seeds, fruit or insects, and
whether they are bold in showing
themselves or try to keep out Of
sight.
The date is essential because you
may think you see a bird on April

probably your description is wrong

in identifying the bird from your
description, because a list at the

pends good deal on what sort of
person you are. If you are seriously
bent on learning all you can, you
undoubtedly will carry a notebook
and pencils. Field glasses are most
useful. but like the camera, these
may be included only for advanced
study The small pocket field guides
are handy to have along since
ldentifications are usually more
readily made in the field than later

If you wish to know your birds
thoroughly you must read what
others have found out about them.

Bird study is a wonderful hobby.
For those of us in the scouting or
ganization it's a most fascinting
hobby, and there are many, many
boys and girls outside of scouting
who have found it so themselves.
You will, too, if you will just try
your hand.

For billions of dimes.
