Download or read book The History of Ornithology in Virginia written by David W. Johnston and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Host to a large and diverse bird population as well as a long human history, Virginia is arguably the birthplace of ornithology in North America. David W. Johnston's History of Ornithology in Virginia, the result of over a decade of research, is the first book to address this fascinating element of the state's natural history. Tertiary-era fossils show that birds inhabited Virginia as early as 65 million years ago. Their first human observers were the region's many Indian tribes and, later, colonists on Roanoke Island and in Jamestown. Explorers pushing westward contributed further to the development of a conception of birds that was distinctively American. By the 1900s planter-farmers, naturalists, and government employees had amassed bird records from the Barrier Islands and the Dismal Swamp to the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. The modern era saw the emergence of ornithological organizations and game laws, as well as increasingly advanced studies of bird distribution, migration pathways, and breeding biology. Johnston shows us how ornithology in Virginia evolved from observations of wondrous creatures to a sophisticated science recognizing some 435 avian species. David W. Johnston taught ornithology at the University of Virginia's Mountain Lake Biological Station for nearly two decades and has edited numerous ecological studies as well as the Journal of Field Ornithology and Ornithological Monographs.

Download or read book The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in West Virginia written by Richard S. Bailey and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in West Virginia is the most comprehensive description of bird life in the Mountain State ever published. Building on the first Atlas, published in 1994, this book documents the occurrence of 170 species of breeding birds, including three new species and one whose last breeding record was in 1888. Compiled from the efforts of almost two hundred volunteers, who worked from 2009 to 2014 to amass more than one hundred thousand records and conduct point-count surveys, the Atlas presents detailed information about each species and two hybrids. Species accounts are accompanied by maps that show breeding evidence, as well as estimates of occurrence, change in occurrence, and population density. The volume covers state geography, climate, and changing habitats. It includes both a discussion of conservation concerns important to the state's breeding birds and a history of state ornithology and changes in West Virginia's avifauna drawn from observations and research from the nineteenth through the twenty-first century. Featuring up-to-date information about 170 bird species and hundreds of beautiful color photographs--nearly all of which are identified by county locations--The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in West Virginia is an indispensable resource for researchers, conservationists, and birders.

Download or read book Virginia Birds written by James Kavanagh and published by Pocket Naturalist Guides. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia is a great place to observe and learn about birds, owing to its varied topography and mix of different ecosystems, which range from high-altitude Appalachian peaks to coastal marshes. Almost two thirds of the state is forested with verdant hardwoods, making Virginia attractive to both breeding and migratory songbirds. Lowland swamp forests are prime nesting grounds for luminous Prothonotary Warblers as well as richly colored Wood Ducks. Coastal wetlands are magnets for waterfowl, sandpipers, plovers, and other wading birds. Appalachian forests host various wood-warblers, and numerous alpine ridges lie along major raptor migration pathways. Over 500 bird species have been recorded in Virginia, a number that can feel overwhelming at times. It helps, then, to have a portable reference on hand to cut through the clutter and focus on a smaller group of representative species. You can do this with the beautifully illustrated Virginia Birds, which features illustrations of 140 common and familiar species as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the perfect resource for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds' fascinating lives.
