John Burroughs was born April 3, 1837, in a little farmhouse among the Catskill Mountains. He was, like most other country boys, acquainted with all the hard work of farm life and enjoyed all the pleasures of the woods and streams. His family was poor, and he was forced at an early date to earn his own living, which he did by teaching school. At the age of twenty-five he chanced to read a volume of Audubon, and this proved the turning-point in his life, inspiring a new zeal for the study of birds and enabling him to see with keener eyes not only the birds themselves, but their nests and surroundings, and to hear with more discernment the peculiar calls and songs of each.

This book was first published in 1901 and is in the public domain (so you can download it for free from the web, and at the moment Amazon offers it for free as well). The printed version has 72 pages. There are 12 essays in this book, the average length of an essay is app. 6 pages, but some are shorter and some a bit longer.The essays in this book are:I. THE WIT OF A DUCKII. AN ASTONISHED PORCUPINEIII. HUMAN TRAITS IN THE ANIMALSIV. THE DOWNY WOODPECKERV. A BARN-DOOR OUTLOOKVI. WILD LIFE IN WINTERVII. BIRD LIFE IN WINTERVIII. A BIRDS' FREE LUNCHIX. BIRD-NESTING TIMEX. A BREATH OF APRILXI. THE WOODCOCK'S EVENING HYMNXII. THE COMING OF SUMMERAs a example to give you an idea of the contents of this book and the way it is written, I copy the first 3 phrases of the first essay in this book:The homing instinct in birds and animals is one of their mostremarkable traits: their strong local attachments and their skillin finding their way back when removed to a distance. It seemsat times as if they possessed some extra sense--the homesense--which operates unerringly. I saw this illustrated onespring in the case of a mallard drake.[...]This book is not outdated and just as worth reading today as it was a hundred years ago. I recommend this book to anyone who's interested in animal behaviour.
