KENAI · the species reference
The birds, read for the dog.
A field guide tells you what the bird looks like. These pages tell you what the bird does to a dog: whether it runs or holds, what it teaches a young dog, where the nose finds it, and what the country does to feet and eyes. 14 birds, every claim sourced.
