1922 The Burgess Bird Book for Children By Thornton W. Burgess

About: 

The author’s goal of introducing children to the fascinating subject of bird life is brilliantly realized in story fashion.

While “interviewing” Slaty the Junco, Redwing the Blackbird, Melody the Wood Thrush, Spooky the Screech Owl, and dozens of other common birds, our guides, Peter Rabbit and saucy Jenny Wren — and, of course, the reader — learn about their physical appearances, eating and nesting habits, and songs and calls.
