Excerpt from The Extension, Vol. 2 of 6: Pass on the Torch, November, 1912, the Guide for North Dakota Bird Study The rapidly growing interest in the study of birds has made necessary the preparation of a guide which may serve to direct the many bird observers in North Dakota along the lines which should yield the greatest pleasure and profit to themselves and the largest advantage to the state. It is earnestly hoped also that the pointing out of the way to make a beginning may stimulate others, who have hesitated because of apparent difficulties or obstacles in the way, to enter this fascinating field where so many important discoveries await the alert and sympathetic student. The past decade has witnessed a most remarkable spread of interest throughout the United States in bird life from the relatively few enthusiastic ornithologists to the hundreds of thousands of people who are now coming to know and appreciate birds as never before. This movement is only in its beginnings, however, and the coming decade should see a much wider diffusion of the spirit of first-hand bird study. Many factors have contributed to give dynamic impetus and to render this movement possible. Organizations have been effected which united, stimulated and directed the members in all parts of the country. An abundant literature accompanied by simple methods of learning the names of birds has been developed. Colored pictures showing with remarkable accuracy the color, form and appearance of the living birds often in their natural haunts have been prepared by the greatest of naturalist artists and placed upon the market at prices which put them within the reach of all and through the proper use of these the birds themselves come to be recognized and known. The development of methods of bird photography has not only afforded interesting activity for many people but has provided a wealth of illustrative material for popular accounts of birds and their habits in books, periodicals and lectures. The extensive investigations of the United States bureau of Biological Survey have not only furnished important information relative to the distribution, abundance and migration of birds but have provided a substantial basis of economic facts in their publications for a proper appreciation of the important relation of birds to human industries.

This updated field guide, organized by color, features full-color photographs and information to help readers easily identify North and South Dakota birds.
North Dakota is a terrific place to learn about and explore birds. Throughout the Peace Garden State's many habitats -- including tallgrass prairie, mixedgrass prairie, shortgrass prairie, lakes, marshes, rivers, and deciduous forests -- such sought-after species as Sharp-tailed Grouse, Piping Plover, Sprague's Pipit, Baird's Sparrow, and state bird Western Meadowlark can be found. For many people, birds represent the face of a landscape, so it is useful to get acquainted with the most representative species to establish a solid foundation of knowledge on which to build. You can do this with the portable reference North Dakota Birds, which features beautiful illustrations of 140 common birds as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a great tool for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders to use for identifying North Dakota's birds and getting more familiar with their fascinating life histories. Made in the USA.
