Birds frequent the fields and forests from "summary" of The Natural History of Selborne by Gilbert White

It is a pleasing circumstance to see how almost all the species of birds that inhabit the fields and woods are furnished with a warm covering to defend them against the cold, and of a dusky colour, that they may not be easily discerned by their enemies. The owl is the only bird that seems to be excepted, for this bird has a peculiar kind of plumage, which has a very singular appearance, and is so different from that of other birds. The fields and forests are frequented by a variety of birds, such as the woodpecker, fieldfare, and woodcock, which are constantly seen in search of food. The woodpecker is a very active bird, and is constantly employed in climbing trees in search of insects, which form its principal food. The fieldfare is a bird of passage, and is only seen during the winter months, when it comes to feed on the berries that grow in the fields and woods. The woodcock, on the other hand, is a bird that is seldom seen, as it is very shy, and flies away at the slightest noise. The golden-winged warbler is another bird that frequents the fields and forests, and is remarkable for its beautiful plumage. This bird is very active, and is constantly seen in search of insects, which form its principal food. The golden-winged warbler is a bird of passage, and is only seen during the summer months, when it comes to breed in the fields and woods. The chaffinch is a bird that frequents the fields and forests, and is remarkable for its beautiful song. This bird is very active, and is constantly seen in search of food, which consists of insects and seeds. The chaffinch is a bird that is seldom seen, as it is very shy, and flies away at the slightest noise. The chaffinch is a bird that is very fond of building its nest in the fields and woods, and is constantly seen in search of materials for this purpose.
  1. It is evident that birds frequent the fields and forests for a variety of reasons, such as in search of food, shelter, and materials for building their nests. These birds are well adapted to their environment, and are able to thrive in the natural habitats of the fields and woods.
