The author does not cover the broad field of general ornithology but narrows his scope to include only groups of birds of special interest to sportsmen. These he treats in a manner to be of interest also to the professional ornithologist and to the general reader. Fair sportsmanship is the keynote, discountenancing record-killing slaughter. Hunting yarns and bits of hunters’ wisdom gathered here and there over the gun-barrel mingle with the observations. Nearly ninety birds are described, located and illustrated in full-page half-tones.
“His descriptions are so good that enjoyment of them need not be confined to sportsmen.”
