About this book
Birds Every Child Should Know is a book by Neltje Blanchan. The book has sixty-three pages of photographs from life. A chapter headed Our Robin Goodfellow and His Relations names American Robin, Bluebird, Wood Thrush, and Wilson's Thrush.
The text says that it is only when a robin is a baby that you could guess our robin is really a thrush, for then the dark speckles on his plump little yellowish-white breast are prominent thrush-like markings. A chapter headed The Ill-Assorted Blackbird Family names Bobolink, Cowbird, Red-winged Blackbird, and Rusty Blackbird, among others. The text gives the bobolink the other names Reedbird, Ricebird, Ortolan, and Maybird. The text says geese usually travel in a wedge-shaped flock, headed by some old, experienced leader, but sometimes, with their long necks outstretched, follow one another in Indian file.
