Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of the New York City Region Seventeen years have passed since the appearance of Dr. Chapman's pamphlet on "The Birds of the Vicinity of New York City." This publication briefly summarized the information about our local birds available at that time, and was a veritable mine of inspiration and assistance to the modern generation of field ornithologists and amateur bird students, who were then just beginning work. It is difficult to conceive the change that has taken place in these seventeen years. For one person interested in birds then there are now hundreds, who cover almost every section of the area at every season of the year. When Dr. Chapman wrote, not only were many parts of his territory without a resident student, but many sections had never even been visited by anyone interested in birds, or had remained unvisited for many years. Twenty-five years ago an active field man went out collecting a few dozen times a year, or made two or three trips lasting a week or so apiece. Nowadays an active student will often be afield a hundred times in one year. The result is an enormous mass of data and notes of all kinds, which, when digested and arranged, greatly extend the knowledge of our birds, and modify many old conceptions of their status and distribution. The Linnaean Society of New York, throughout this period, has been the main center and nucleus for this growth of ornithological interest. At its meeting of October 14, 1919, Dr. Chapman moved that a committee be appointed to prepare as complete and detailed a Local Avifauna as present knowledge permitted. This committee, appointed somewhat later, consisted of Mr. J. T. Nichols as chairman, Dr. E. R. P. Janvrin, and the writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds Around New York City: Where and When to Find Them New York had pointed out that abnormal dates of occurrence were receiving far too much attention in relation to their importance, while many Of the blanks in our knowledge of the normal picture were being somewhat or entirely over looked. The compilation Of unusual records and their sub sequent publication in an Ornithological Year, in many instances came dangerously near presenting an abnormal picture of our local avifauna without definitely warning a reader Of that fact. The purpose Of the present book, it was conceded, Should be to present a detailed normal picture in So far as space would permit and to mention unusual dates and occurrences merely as abnormalities. The earliest arrival and the latest departure dates of a species are no more im portant, if as important, as the local periods of maximum abundance for the species. Yet this latter information had all too Often been neglected in publications on local bird migrations. I have carefully analyzed all available data to obtain these important facts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Birds of New York This little book is not expected to give everyone a complete history of the birds of this state. To do so would require an immense volume. But it is designed to bring to the attention of the reader the most common, the most interesting and the most valuable birds and to create an interest which it is hoped will be the means of starting many on a more extended study of our most interesting fauna. In the last few pages is a quite complete list of New York birds and concise data in regard to their occurrence. As might be expected considering the size and location of the state, a very great many species occur or have been taken here. The sandy beaches and mud flats of Long Island furnish an ideal retreat or resting place for all sorts of water fowl and shore birds. The Carolinian Area of the Austral Zone extends to Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley; hence a great many southern species occur, species that otherwise would be very unusual in this latitude, such as Kentucky, Hooded and Worm-eating Warblers.

Download or read book Birds of the Kansas City Region Classic Reprint written by Harry Harris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of the Kansas City Region There has been no list of the birds of the Kansas City region which local students of birds could consult. It is hoped that the present summary of an extensive study of the avifauna of Jackson County, Missouri, and vicinity, will be of service to local nature-study classes, and to bird students in general. It is hoped also that it may stimulate that scientific interest in bird-study which is an active and powerful incentive to the growing movement for bird protection. No attempt has been made to furnish a means of identifying birds, since so many standard works covering this ground are available. A list of desirable books is given in the text. The nomenclature used is that of the American Or'nithologists' Union Che-ck List. The total number of species and subspecies listed is 343. This number includes 8 species that have become extinct in this region, and 17 that occur here only as wanderers out of their ranges. The summer residents - that is breeders - number 117, of which 12 are very rare. The 9 species and subspecies indi cated in the text by brackets, have not yet been authenticated, but they should occur here and are included to call the atten tion of local students to the possibility of establishing their presence in this vicinity.

This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visitors Guide to the Local Collection of Birds in the American Museum of Natural History, New York City: With an Annotated List of the Birds Known to Occur Within Fifty Miles of New York City The collection this Guide is intended to accompany has been formed especially to aid students in identifying the birds found in the vicinity of New York City. It occupies Cases S and T, in the north wing, at the southwest corner -of the gallery devoted to North American birds. With a few exceptions all the speci mens contained in it were collected within 50 miles of New York City. The species which we have as yet been unable to secure within these limits are represented temporarily by specimens from the North American collection. The collection of Water Birds 'is for the present restricted to summer resident species. So large a proportion of North American Water Birds are found near New York City, that a local collection of them would to a great extent duplicate the North American collection displayed on the opposite side of the gallery. Species of accidental occurrence, or those which have been found in this vicinity but once or twice, are also excluded from the collection. Their presence would only tend to confuse the student and be apt to give him an erroneous idea of the bird's range. The birds are labeled in accordance with the system of nomenclature adopted by the American Ornithologists' Union. The number preceding the name of each species is its permanent number in the Union's 'check-l'ist' of North American birds. In the Guide this number follows the name of the species. The birds are placed in the cases in a continuous numerical series and any desired specimen may thus be readily found by its number. As a matter of local interest an asterisk has been placed before those species which have been observed in Central Park. In the alcove between Cases B and C, in the main bird-hall, will be found a local collection of the nests and eggs of the birds_4.

Download or read book Urban Ornithology written by P. A. Buckley and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Ornithology is the first quantitative historical analysis of any New York City natural area’s birdlife and spans the century and a half from 1872 to 2016. Only Manhattan’s Central and Brooklyn’s Prospect Parks have preliminary species lists, not revised since 1967, and the last book examining the birdlife of the entire New York City area is now more than fifty years old. This book updates the avifaunas of those two parks, the Bronx, and other New York City boroughs. It treats the 301 bird species known to have occurred within its study area—Van Cortlandt Park and the adjacent Northwest Bronx—plus 70 potential additions. Its 123 breeding species are tracked from 1872 and supplemented by quantitative breeding bird censuses from 1937 to 2015. Gains and losses of breeding species are discussed in light of an expanding New York City inexorably extinguishing unique habitats.

This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of the Birds of Long Island, New York Long Island, New York, is about 120 miles long by from 8 to 18 miles broad, with a nearly straight coast-line on the south shore, along the ocean front, but broken on the north by the more or less abrupt indentures of Long Island Sound. Its general position is about parallel with the coast-line of the mainland, trending slightly northward from west to east. The north shore in general is abrupt and hilly, owing to a low range of hills termed the backbone of the island, which, in places along the Sound, form high, bold bluffs often 100 feet and more in height. The south shore fronts the Atlantic Ocean, forming an outlying beach separated, in great part, from the land by shallow bays and salt marshes. Except at its eastern extremity this beach is low and sandy, shifting somewhat year by year under the influence of the winds as well as by the action of the tides and waves.
