Abstract
As this book deals with North American birds and conditions, its interest to readers in Great Britain is naturally general rather than particular. Nearly half the space is allotted to a detailed consideration of the food habits of the species which are of most importance economically in the United States: in addition, however, there are chapters on methods for studying the food of birds, on the development of economic ornithology in America, on birds' food in general, and on measures for the conservation and encouragement of useful species and for preventing the depredations of those which are injurious.
Birds in their Relations to Man: a Manual of Economic Ornithology for the United States and Canada.
