Little Brothers of the Air

Harriet Mann, Mrs. Miller (wrote as: Olive Thorne Miller) (1831-1918) was the author of: In Nesting Time (1888), Little Brothers of the Air (1892) and A Bird-Lover in the West (1894). "To study a nest is to make an acquaintance. However familiar the bird, unless the student has watched its ways during the only domestic period of its life, -nesting time, -he has still something to learn. In fact, he has almost everything to learn, for into those few weeks is crowded a whole lifetime of emotions and experiences which fully bring out the individuality of the bird. "
