"If you like birds you'll love this book."--Wildlife in North Carolina
"Put a copy of this book on your night table, read a chapter each evening, and become acquainted with over 60 birds that fly in and out of our southern gardens. . . . A literary delight."--Florida Gardener
"The late Green initially published this volume in 1933. More than just a field guide, however, the book includes selections from Green's weekly column, 'Out-of-Doors in Carolina, ' which appeared in the Raleigh News and Observer for more than 40 years. The volume also contains anecdotes and poetry, giving it a literary feel. The text is accompanied by more than 30 color plates."--Library Journal
"Writing for the nature student rather than for the naturalist and employing the 'nature-study approach, ' . . . Green has produced a volume which should find a wide sphere of usefulness in the South. . . . An agreeable and useful book."--New York Times
