"Glimpses of Indian Birds" by Douglas Dewar is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book presents an extensive overview of various species of birds native to India, detailing their characteristics, behaviors, and habitats. Dewar critiques prevailing theories of bird coloration and offers insights based on his observations from nature, making this work a combination of personal narrative and ornithological study. At the start of the book, the author enthusiastically describes a delightful experience in an Indian grove filled with a vibrant array of bird species. He paints a vivid picture of the life and sounds within this natural setting, mentioning various birds such as sunbirds, bulbuls, and flycatchers, and detailing their behaviors and interactions. Dewar’s passion for ornithology is evident as he critiques established theories and emphasizes the importance of direct observation in understanding avian life, setting the tone for further exploration of specific bird species throughout the book.
