Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/17365-h/images/coot.jpg b/17365-h/images/coot.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..576ac6a --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/coot.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/cootbig.jpg b/17365-h/images/cootbig.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a20d51d --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/cootbig.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/coverbird.png b/17365-h/images/coverbird.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3c6d7b5 --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/coverbird.png diff --git a/17365-h/images/coverbirdbig.jpg b/17365-h/images/coverbirdbig.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..064f620 --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/coverbirdbig.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/dabchick.jpg b/17365-h/images/dabchick.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4e79b5d --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/dabchick.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/dabchickbig.jpg b/17365-h/images/dabchickbig.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..576f1ab --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/dabchickbig.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/goose.jpg b/17365-h/images/goose.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..18c45cb --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/goose.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/goosebig.jpg b/17365-h/images/goosebig.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f9bd1a9 --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/goosebig.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/oystercatcher.jpg b/17365-h/images/oystercatcher.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6a64bcd --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/oystercatcher.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/oystercatcherbig.jpg b/17365-h/images/oystercatcherbig.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..72ecf4f --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/oystercatcherbig.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/swan.jpg b/17365-h/images/swan.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..97a2672 --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/swan.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/swanbig.jpg b/17365-h/images/swanbig.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8c878ea --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/swanbig.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/teal.jpg b/17365-h/images/teal.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..34fd42a --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/teal.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/tealbig.jpg b/17365-h/images/tealbig.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0ac369c --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/tealbig.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/titlebird.jpg b/17365-h/images/titlebird.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..72723fe --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/titlebird.jpg diff --git a/17365-h/images/titlebirdbig.jpg b/17365-h/images/titlebirdbig.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7728ded --- /dev/null +++ b/17365-h/images/titlebirdbig.jpg diff --git a/17365.txt b/17365.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..242ecf7 --- /dev/null +++ b/17365.txt @@ -0,0 +1,531 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Child's Book of Water Birds, by Anonymous + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

It is generally white, though a black +swan has been discovered in Australia. It is not very often seen in this +country. It was brought from Asia and Eastern Europe into England--from +whence, most probably, a few specimens have been introduced into this +country. The Swan is very graceful in the water, but on land it is an +awkward waddler. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE COOT. + + +The Coot is generally found in large sheets of water, particularly if +shaded by trees. The nest is a mass of flags, reeds, and grass, usually +at the water's edge, but sometimes actually in the water. The Coot's +eggs are generally seven in number. They are of a greenish-white, +spotted. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE DABCHICK. + + +The Dabchick is a very timid bird, and when alarmed instantly dives, +after which it is useless to look after the bird. It is easily +domesticated, and is often seen placed as an ornament to ponds, where it +swims about very merrily, and seems to enjoy a game of hide and seek +with any one who is attempting to watch its movements. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE TEAL. + + +The Teal is the smallest of the ducks. The Green-winged Teal is the +American. It feeds on fresh-water insects, seeds, and aquatic plants. +When fat it is considered a great luxury. It is almost always seen on +well furnished tables. It generally feeds at night. It flies very +swiftly, and utters a whistling cry. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE GOOSE. + + +The Goose is a very common bird. In Lincolnshire, England, enormous +flocks are bred, containing from two to ten thousand each. They are +subjected to the plucking of their wing-feathers periodically, in order +to supply the demand for quills. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE OYSTER CATCHER. + + +The Oyster Catcher feeds generally on shell-fish, oysters, limpets, &c. +He detaches them from the rocks to which they are fastened, and opens +them with his long, stout bill. The head, neck, and body are black. It +lays two olive-brown eggs, spotted with black. + + + + +LEAVITT & ALLEN + +BOOKSELLERS, PUBLISHERS, AND STATIONERS, + +AT THE + +New and elegant Store, +27 DEY STREET, + +a few doors West of Broadway.
