Wild Bird Guests

Ernest Baynes believed every home could offer hospitality to the birds, and this warm-hearted book shows how. He explains feeding shelves and nesting boxes, winter care, and the gentle art of winning wild trust, woven through with stories of the birds who became his neighbors and friends. Published in 1915, it helped spark America's bird-protection movement. Anyone who keeps a feeder, or wants to, will find this the founding classic of backyard bird hospitality.
