| Summary | "A History of North American Birds; Land Birds; Vol. 1 of 3" by S. F. Baird, T. M. Brewer, and R. Ridgway is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive descriptive account of the birds inhabiting North America, specifically focusing on land birds. It covers aspects such as geographical distribution, habits, nesting methods, and characteristics of various species, making it a crucial resource for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts. At the start of this volume, the authors express a need for an updated reference on North American birds, highlighting the gap since previous significant works. The introduction discusses the classification of birds and outlines the goals of the text, which include systematic descriptions based on extensive research and numerous prior reports. There is a focus on the contributions from various naturalists and explorers, as well as the utilization of manuscripts from the Smithsonian Institution, which serves as a pivotal source of information for the work. The text promises to categorize and detail many bird families, beginning with the Thrushes in the early sections. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
