| Summary | "Fifty Birds of Town and City" by Bob Hines and Peter A. Anastasi is a scientific publication that was likely written in the mid-20th century. This informative book serves as a guide to a selection of birds commonly found in urban and suburban environments, aiming to enhance the reader's understanding and appreciation of these avian species. Through both illustrations and descriptions, the book highlights how these birds coexist with people in towns and cities. The book comprises detailed entries on fifty different bird species, each accompanied by illustrations by Bob Hines. Each entry includes the bird’s physical characteristics, habits, breeding patterns, and diet. For instance, the Baltimore Oriole and Barn Swallow are described not only in terms of their appearance but also their significance in local ecosystems, such as their roles in controlling insect populations. By emphasizing the adaptability of these birds and the importance of fostering healthy habitats, the book encourages readers to engage with nature in their own backyards, instilling a sense of responsibility for the birds' well-being in urban settings.
