(Frederick Durand Stirling) 1869 Fayrer, Frederick Durand Stirling 08031848 Birds of the Plains Produced by Marcia Brooks, Stephen Hutcheson and the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "Birds of the Plains" by Douglas Dewar is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as an exploration of various bird species found in the plains of India, detailing their characteristics, behaviors, and the ecological significance of their interactions. Dewar presents a unique angle by comparing British birds with those found in India, likely appealing to naturalists and bird enthusiasts alike. At the start of the work, the author introduces the concept of birds as cosmopolitan creatures, pointing out that while many birds share similarities across regions, each habitat supports its unique species. He emphasizes his personal affinity for British birds when he encounters them in India, using examples like the sparrow and the barn owl to illustrate the subtle distinctions and adaptations between familiar species in differing environments. The tone is informative yet engaging, with anecdotes that connect the reader's experience to the broader study of ornithology.
