Ecology and Conservation of Forest Birds
Ecology and Conservation of Forest Birds is a unique review of current understanding of the relationships between forest birds and their changing environments. Large ecological changes are being driven by forest management, climate change, introduced pests and pathogens, abiotic disturbances, and overbrowsing. Many forest bird species have suffered population declines, with the situation being particularly severe for birds dependent on attributes such as dead wood, old trees and structurally complex forests. With a focus on the non-tropical parts of the Northern Hemisphere, the text addresses the fundamental evolutionary and ecological aspects of forest birds using original data analyses and synthesising reviews. The characteristics of bird assemblages and their habitats in different European forest types are explored, together with the macroecological patterns of bird diversity and conservation issues. The book provides a valuable reference for ecologists, ornithologists, conservation professionals, forest industry employees, and those interested in birds and nature.

Forest Birds, Their Haunts and Habits
Excerpt from Forest Birds, Their Haunts and Habits: Short Studies From Nature The chief aim of the writer of this little volume has been to accurately record his own experience and observations in the life history of the eight species of birds described in its pages. The information presented to the reader has been with few exceptions the result of many hours of patient watching and waiting on the part of the writer. The scenes of his observations have been found in that bird-lover's paradise - the New Forest, and also in various parts of the British Isles.

New Forest Birds
Internationally renowned sculptor Geoffrey Dashwood?s bronze birds are notable for the use of coloured patinas and the elimination of surface detail to emphasise form and movement, thus capturing the innate character of individual species. Born in Hampshire, Dashwood left school at 15 and rejected art college to spend several years as a Forestry Commission keeper. He developed an extensive knowledge of the New Forest?s unique habitats and wildlife and has a particular passion for birds exemplified in this book and the accompanying exhibition at St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery. This collection focuses on birds that might be found in the New Forest in the past, present and future: the black grouse, once common, now locally extinct; species closely associated with the Forest today such as the hobby, nightjar and hen harrier; and those which may yet become established such as the hoopoe, osprey and red kite.00Exhibition: St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery, Lymington, UK (29.07.-23.09.2017).

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Forest Birds
Get to know some of the more common birds that live in the forest: * Northern Goshawk: this hawk eats squirrels, hares and other birds like woodpeckers, grouse and Blue Jays. * Great Horned Owl: Great Horned Owls usually hunt at night but in winter will sometimes hunt during the day. The best time to see them is at dusk. * Downy Woodpecker: this little woodpecker has feathered nostrils so it doesn't get sawdust in its nose when it is pecking wood.
