Feeding Wild Birds in America

Culture, Commerce, and Conservation

By: Paul J. Baicich,Margaret A. Barker,Carrol L. Henderson

Today, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, more than fifty million Americans feed birds around their homes, and over the last sixty years, billions of pounds of birdseed have filled millions of feeders in backyards everywhere. Feeding Wild Birds in America tells why and how a modest act of provision has become such a pervasive, popular, and often passionate aspect of people’s lives. Each chapter provides details on one or more bird-feeding development or trend including the “discovery” of seeds, the invention of different kinds of feeders, and the creation of new companies. Also woven into the book are the worlds of education, publishing, commerce, professional ornithology, and citizen science, all of which have embraced bird feeding at different times and from different perspectives. The authors take a decade-by-decade approach starting in the late nineteenth century, providing a historical overview in each chapter before covering topical developments (such as hummingbird feeding and birdbaths). On the one hand, they show that the story of bird feeding is one of entrepreneurial invention; on the other hand, they reveal how Americans, through a seemingly simple practice, have come to value the natural world.

The Birdhouse Book

Building, Placing, and Maintaining Great Homes for Great Birds

By: Margaret A. Barker,Elissa Ruth Wolfson,National Audubon Society

The Audubon Birdhouse Book is the most authoritative book available for creating safe, sturdy, and easy-to-build homes for many of North America’s favorite birds. This updated second edition includes important new and timely topics including impacts of climate change on birds, nestbox monitoring for community science, native plants, and how birders can help birds. Produced in association with the National Audubon Society, Audubon Birdhouse Book explains how to build and place functional DIY bird homes that are safe and appropriate for more than 20 classic North American species, from wrens to raptors. Each of the easy-to-build boxes and shelves within is accompanied by cut lists, specially created line diagrams, and step-by-step photography, making the projects accessible to those with even the most rudimentary woodworking skills. In addition, this practical and beautifully presented guide is packed with color photography and information about the bird species covered: Wrens, Warblers, Bluebirds, Flycatchers, Swallows, Titmice, Owls, Flickers, Kestrels, Chickadees, Ducks, Mergansers, Swallows, Doves, Swallows, Robins, Finches, Phoebes, Loons, Swifts, Herons, and Ospreys. Detailed information will help you properly place and maintain the homes to attract birds. And because these projects are the product of years of experience and field-testing, you can be sure you’re getting the best advice regarding proper design, safe construction materials, and correct home placement to mitigate exposure to elements, pests, and predators. Finally, beyond the birdhouses, you’ll find out how you can contribute to the larger birding community and even enhance your birding experience.

Regulating Religion and Morality in the King's Armies

1639-1646

By: Margaret Griffin

Many talk about the religious fervor of Parliamentarian supporters during the English Civil Way, says Griffin, but none have produced a corresponding portrayal of religion among Royalists. She challenges the orthodoxy that Protestants had a monopoly on religion and piety, drawing from the printed English military orders of Charles I aimed at regula.

Designer Dogs

By: Margaret H. Bonham

Are 'pure - breed' mixes such as yorkipoos or labradoodles really designer dogs? Do so - called 'designer breeds' - hybrids or mixes - actually produce dogs that are hypoallergenic or less temperamental? And are they worth the exorbitant prices - often $2,000 or more for a designer puppy?! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Designer Dogs answers these and many other questions. Cutting through the hype and explaining exactly where to find and what to look for in these unique cross breeds, this book helps even the inexperienced pet owner understand the difference between a crossbreed and a mutt.

Who in the World Is Margaret Sherman?

By: Margaret Sherman

The idea for this book was presented to me March 15, 1995. It came off the press December 1995. That made this book my baby and I didn't have one labor pain while it was being delivered. Everyone says it reads so easily. It was almost like it was meant to be. I self financed all 5500 and only have three left. I never asked anyone to buy a book. I carry a business card that says "Sales, promotions and Freelance Writer." When I hand that out, without fail the person will say 'What kind of things do you write?" When I tell them about the book they will say "Where can I get one" and I say "Oh, I just happen to have them in the trunk of my car." Now as far as I know through personal sales the books are in 38 states of the USA plus three in Germany, one each in Canada, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, China, Belize, Scotland and the latest one in Wales.
