Nellie Blanchan Doubleday

Neltje Blanchan was the pen name of Nellie Blanchan DeGraff Doubleday, who was the wife of publishing giant Frank Nelson Doubleday. Under this pseudonym she published several books on gardening and birds. An ecologist by training, she works as a scientific historian and is the author of several books.

A charming and comprehensive guide to birds of North America.
The purpose of the writer is to give, in a popular and accessible form, knowledge which is accurate and reliable about the life of our common birds. This knowledge has not been collected from the stuffed carcasses of birds in museums, but gleaned afield. In a word, these short narrative descriptions treat of the birds characteristics of size, color, and flight; its peculiarities of instinct and temperament; its nest and home life; its choice of food; its songs; and of the season in which we may expect it to play its part in the great panorama Nature unfolds with faithful precision year after year. They are an attempt to make the bird so live before the reader that, when seen out of doors, its recognition shall be instant and cordial, like that given to a friend.
