This work serves as a systematic catalog of North American bird species, providing descriptions and classifications based on Audubon’s previous studies and observations. Its primary focus is to offer a comprehensive guide for enthusiasts and researchers interested in understanding the diverse avian life found across the continent. At the start of the publication, Audubon articulates his motivation for compiling this synopsis, highlighting the need for an organized index of the birds mentioned in his earlier works, "The Birds of America" and "Ornithological Biography." He outlines his approach to classifying the myriad species from Mexico to the Arctic, while emphasizing the importance of accessible nomenclature and organization for students of ornithology. Additionally, the preface acknowledges the contributions of fellow ornithologist Mr. Macgillivray, setting the stage for the detailed study of bird families, genera, and species that follows in the subsequent chapters.
