| Summary | "A-Birding on a Bronco" by Florence Merriam Bailey is a collection of ornithological observations written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the author's experiences studying birds in a picturesque Southern California valley during the spring months, highlighting her explorations on horseback. The narrative invites readers into a vibrant birdwatching adventure, emphasizing the nuances of avian life in a new environment. The opening of the text introduces the idyllic setting of Twin Oaks, where the author embarks on her ornithological pursuits. After receiving a horse named Canello from a ranchman, she eagerly sets out each day with her opera glass and note-book, exploring the valley and becoming acquainted with an array of birds, including quails, wrens, and hummingbirds. She describes the sights and sounds of the environment and her encounters with both familiar and new species, conveying a sense of enthusiasm and connection to nature. Through her observations, the reader gains insight into the dynamics of the bird community as well as the challenges that arise in their daily lives, setting a tone of curiosity and appreciation for the natural world.
