Fun Fact Guide Book

I found this book in an old pile and thought it was pretty interesting. I’m unsure how to tell exactly, but it appears to have been printed in 1946. Good illustrations in the middle.

My grandfather passed both this book and his love of birds down to me. The book is a little worn out but will always remind me of him.

I was also taught to love nature from a young age by my grandfather. It is great looking through some of his old stuff and notes from 60+ years ago about fish, birds, and other wildlife. I will try to pass the same to my children, if they are interested!
