Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of the Birds of Eastern North America Which occur in New England, Illinois, and Florida. Taking these States to form the points of an imaginary triangle, a somewhat crude idea of the range of species which occur within this area may be obtained, as it is evident that birds which occur in Illinois, New England, and Florida must, in all probability, also occur in most of the intermediate States; whereas those which are recorded from only one of these localities would probably be species which only touched within the limits of this area during their migrations, or birds of comparatively local distribution. Of course, a number of the species do not occur in either New England, Illinois, or Florida, as the list includes all birds which are known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of Eastern North America This volume is in reality but an extension of, an enlargement upon and a combining of the "show me" properties of "Bird Guide - Land Birds" and "Bird Guide - Water Birds." The kind reception and enormous sale of these smaller books have fully justified my belief that a good, accurate illustration is worth pages of text for conveying an idea of the appearance, of a bird or for identifying one seen in the field. My schooling in this line was gained in the time when an occasional inaccurate woodcut served only to relieve the monotony of the solid pages of text. In those days the birds were "collected" and, with the specimen in hand, it required only time to discover what it was, from the pages of the old reliable "Coues' Key." Birds were more plentiful then and bird students comparatively few. Obviously such methods are impossible now when the birds are fewer and students numbered by the hundreds of thousands. A good pair of bird glasses and a good book will enable the bird student now to see and identify hundreds of species, and that without harming the creatures in the least. In fact, several enthusiasts have written me that they became so familiar with the. birds by means of pictures that upon visiting new localities and seeing new birds they were able to correctly name nearly all at first sight without referring to a book. Bird study is not a fad. It is a recreation and a most useful one. Its importance is shown by the fact that it is one of the requirements of teachers in nearly all states.

The diagrams on page 8 will illustrate how a bird should be measured, and the chart (pages viii and ix) will be useful to the young student of ornithology who may not be familiar with the technical terms used in describing birds. Such terms as primaries and axillars should be learned at once. It is customary to indicate the sexes by the signs of Mars and Venus; the male, of course, being given that of Mars, 3, and the female, Venus, 9.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of North American Birds, Vol. 3 The group of birds usually known as the Raptores, or Rapacious Birds, embraces three well-marked divisions, namely, the Owls, the Hawks, and the Vultures. In former classifications they headed the Class of Birds, being honored with this position in consequence of their powerful organization, large size, and predatory habits. But it being now known that in structure they are less perfectly organized than the Passcres and Strisorcs, birds generally far more delicate in organization, as well as smaller in size, they occupy a place in the more recent arrangements nearly at the end of the Terrestrial forms. The complete definition of the order Raptorcs, and of its subdivisions, requires the enumeration of a great many characters; and that their distinguishing features may be more easily recognized by the student, I give first a brief diagnosis, including their simplest characters, to be followed by a more detailed account hereafter. Common Characters. Bill hooked, the tipper mandible furnished at the base with a soft skin, or "cere," in which the nostrils are situated. Toes, three before and one behind. Raptores. Strigidae. Eyes directed forwards, and surrounded by radiating feathers, which are bounded, except anteriorly, by a circle or rim of differently formed, stiffer feathers. Outer toe reversible. Claws much hooked and very sharp. Legs and toes usually feathered, or, at least, coated with bristles. The Owls. Falconidae. Eyes lateral, and not surrounded by radiating feathers. Outer toe not reversible (except in Pandion). Claws usually booked and sharp, but variable. Head more or less completely feathered. The Hawks. Cathartidae. Eyes lateral; whole head naked. Outer toe not reversible; claws slightly curved, blunt. The Vultures. The preceding characters, though purely artificial, may nevertheless serve to distinguish the three families of Raptores belonging to the North American Ornis; a more scientific diagnosis, embracing a sufficient number of osteological, and accompanying anatomical characters, will be found further on.
