| Summary | "The Birds of Washington" by William Leon Dawson and J.H. Bowles is a comprehensive ornithological guide written in the early 20th century. This work serves as both a scientific reference and a popular account of the 372 species of birds found in Washington state, highlighting their ecology, behavior, and significance. The book aims to educate both amateur bird-watchers and serious ornithologists about the diverse avifauna of the region. At the start of the work, the authors express their passion for birds and the importance of understanding avian life within the context of the natural environment. They offer insights into their research methodology and the collaborative efforts undertaken to compile this extensive overview of birds in Washington. The preface sets the stage for the subsequent detailed descriptions of various bird species, emphasizing that their goal is to promote an appreciation for birds as part of the fabric of life in the Pacific Northwest. The opening establishes a tone of reverence and enthusiasm for ornithology, advocating for a deeper relationship between humans and the winged creatures they share the world with.
