The Iowa Ornithologist, Volume 2, No. 2, January 1896 For the Student of Birds

"The Iowa Ornithologist, Volume 2, No. 2, January 1896" by Various is a quarterly magazine from the late 1800s that gives you a glimpse into the world of bird studies in Iowa. Several different writers share their ideas and research about birds, including what kinds they are, how they act depending on the season, and how they affect the environment. Frank H. Shoemaker talks about the different types of sea birds you can spot in Iowa and when they show up throughout the year. William W. Loomis writes about why it's important to protect birds, explaining their role in nature and the dangers they face from people and new animals in the area; plus you can learn from John V. Crone's notes on the Vireo bird family, where you will learn how they breed, where they like to live, and how they communicate with their surroundings. The book is both a source of knowledge for bird experts and a call to protect bird life in Iowa.
