Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pacific Coast Avifauna Number 15, Vol. 15: Birds Recorded From the Santa Rita Mountains in Southern Arizona The recorded birds from the ranges adjoining the Santa Ritas - the Santa Catalinas and the Huachueas - have long since been published on by Mr. W. E. D. Scott and Mr. II. S. Swarth and others, but comparatively little has been published on the available material from the Santa Rita Mountains which, as Mr. Swarth discovered, have a markedly different set of breeding birds from that of the Huachucas. Work has been done in the Santa Ritas at various times for fifty years, from 1873 to 1923, on both sides of the range, in almost every month of the year, and it has seemed desirable to bring the results together, not only for the convenience of students of distribution and migration, but for the benefit of future field students in this interesting Mexican borderland. The warm valleys on the eastern and southern sides of the mountains may add some winter residents to the foothills not found on the northern and western sides; the migrations may at any time and place afford rewarding surprises; and much may be learned by a study of the life histories of the summer residents, especially of some of the many hummingbirds and rare Mexican species straying across the border. The published records of specimens collected are mainly those of Mr. H. W. Henshaw, Mr. Frank Stephens, and Mr. H. S. Swarth, while the unpublished records, to be found in the catalogue of the U. S. National Museum and in the files of the U. S. Biological Survey, are from Dr. E. W. Nelson, Mr. A. B. Howell, Dr. Walter P. Taylor, and Mr. Vernon Bailey. In 1872, when Captain Charles Bendire was stationed at Fort Lowell, north of Tucson, he explored the surrounding country for hostile Apaches, but almost no personal notes on the birds of the Santa Ritas are found in his Life Histories. He quotes, however, from the notes of Mr. Stephens and Dr. Nelson. In 1873 and 1874, when ornithologist of the Wheeler Survey, Mr. Henshaw did a little collecting at Camp Crittenden (Old Fort Crittenden), at about 4,700 feet altitude, on the east side of the range, where foothill canyons and rocky hillsides on the west and Sonoita Valley on the east afford a great variety of species. His notes from this locality were incorporated in his main Survey report. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Early Southwest Ornithologists 1528 1900 written by Dan Fischer and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its colorful landscape and wonderful diversity of plant and animal communities, the southwestern borderlands have attracted naturalists for centuries. As Col. Thomas Henry noted in 1853, there “are to be found many curious birds, peculiar to the country.” This book identifies more than 100 early ornithologists and explorers who entered the Southwest from 1528 to 1900, all of whom have contributed in significant ways to our understanding of the region’s avian life. Dan Fischer identifies those individuals who documented the natural history of the Southwest and summarizes their contributions to our knowledge about the region’s birds—particularly through discovering and naming them. He tells why the ornithologists came to the region, what they saw, who described and named the new discoveries, and who were the first to sketch or paint new birds. Beginning with accounts of the earliest Spanish explorers such as Cabeza de Vaca and Coronado, Fischer considers all who visited the region through the end of the nineteenth century, including such renowned naturalists as William Gambel, John McCown, Adolphus Heermann, Elliott Coues, Charles Bendire, and Henry Henshaw. In between, he recalls English mining speculators, French traders, army explorers, railroad surveyors, and more—all of whom contributed to ornithological knowledge. Although focusing on ornithologists, Fischer’s text reveals the wonderful variety of avian species in the region and their relationship with human history. Featuring a comprehensive bibliography, illustrations, and maps that portray the westward march of exploration, it is a major sourcebook for southwestern ornithology and an essential volume for anyone interested in birds.
