Summary: "Everyday Birds: Elementary Studies" by Bradford Torrey is a collection of nature writings focused on birds, written in the early 20th century. The book explores various bird species found in North America, detailing their behaviors, characteristics, and songs. It provides both informative content for readers interested in ornithology and vivid descriptions that invite even casual observers to appreciate the beauty and diversity of these creatures. The opening of the book introduces a variety of birds, starting with the kinglet. Torrey describes the two species of kinglets—the golden-crowned and ruby-crowned—highlighting their distinct features and vocalizations. He emphasizes the ruby-crown's remarkable song, comparing its beauty to that of a canary, while noting the more modest singing abilities of the golden-crowned kinglet. This initial segment sets a tone of wonder and admiration for birdlife, urging readers to engage with nature and recognize the joy that comes from observing the birds in their surroundings.
