Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Michigan Ornithological Club, Vol. 4: Published Quarterly in the Interests of Ornithology in the Great Lake Region, March 1903 I am well satisfied in my own mind that state ornithological clubs are of great benefit to the science at large; further, such organizations keep the members in touch with each other, and when a journal is published, give an opportunity for individuals to contribute ornithological matter, which has been developed under personal observation, and will not only interest fellow members, but be a record of permanent value. Moreover the work of an organization in every channel fol lowed is very much greater' than the sum total of the work of the individual members.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Michigan Ornithological Club, 1903, Vol. 4: An Illustrated Quarterly Magazine Devoted to the Ornithology of the Great Lake Regio On July 2d, at 6 A. M., I started out and crossing the river bottom I caine to a steep terrace which' forms the edge of the Norway plains. This slope is very wet, and in places fine springs seep out. Here also is a dense growth of cedar with tamarack near'the foot of the terrace. Fir, balm of Gilead and birch make up the timber. Climbing this slope I found a rather level plain with scattering Norway and jack pines. In places these have been cut off, and in their stead there has sprung up a more or less thick growth of small jack pines, yellow oak and poplar (populus grandidentata Michx) The ground is covered with a mat of Wintergreen (gaulthem'a [iromunbmzs L), sweetfern and trailing arbutus (epigaea repens I was walking slowly through this, watching the junco (funco hyemalz's song sparrow (melospiza fasciata chipping sparrow (spizella so aiolis Wils) and the vesper sparrow (poocaetes gmmz'neus Gmel.) - the most common bird of these plains - when suddenly I heard a new song, loud.

Excerpt: ... on a sixty mile run down the river. Roscommon county is one of the high counties of this part of the State. The Muskegon, the Tittabawasse and the South Branch all have their sources here. This county consists of high ridges and plains, formerly covered with white pine (Finns strobns), Norway pine (Finns resinosa Ait.), jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), some hemlock (Tsuga canadensis, Linn.), yellow birch (Bclnla lulca Michx. f.), and paper birch (Bctula papyrifera Marsh.). While floating uown the river I saw spruce (Picca alba, Link.), balsam fir (Abies balsamca Linn.), and great swamps of tamarack (Lari.v amcricana Michx.), Fig. 1.

The view also shows the general character of country. white cedar (Chamaccyparis thyoides Linn.), balm of Gilead (Populus balsamijera Linn.), basswood (Tilia amcricana Linn.) and red maple (Acer rubrum Linn.). I noticed also the white elm (Ulmus amcricana Linn.) and a few black ash (Fraximts nigra Marsh.). The river here is from three to four rods wide with a sandy, gravelly bottom and the current is quite swift. In places the banks are high and covered with Norway and jack pine. The ground is covered with a thick growth of sweet-fern (Comptonia asplenifolia, Ait.) and blue-berry bushes (I'accinium), with occasional plants of the dwarf morning-glory (Convolvulus spithamaeus L.), harebell (Campanula rotundifolia L.), and the wood lily (Lilium philadclphicum L.). This country is wild and very interesting, and the songs of many birds cheered mc, as with note-book in hand I floated along. I saw a hooded merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus Linn.) with her brood of young. These yotmg were not able to fly; but they tried it, and by using both feet...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when the world is seeing its species rapidly go extinct, the Kirtland's warbler is not just a survivor, it's a rock star. The Kirtland's warbler is the rarest warbler species in North America and will always be rare because of its persnickety nesting preferences. But when the total population fell below 400 birds in the 1970s and 1980s---driven largely by a loss of habitat and the introduction of a parasite---a small group of dedicated biologists, researchers, and volunteers vowed to save the Kirtland's warbler despite long odds. This is the story of the warbler's survival and gradual recovery, the people and policies that kept it from extinction, and the ongoing challenges that may again jeopardize the bird's future. In The Kirtland's Warbler, William Rapai explores the bird's fascinating natural history as well as the complex and evolving relationships between the warbler, its environment, its human protectors, and state and federal policies that today threaten to eradicate decades of work done on the species' behalf. Beginning with an account of the warbler's discovery in the mid-nineteenth century and ornithologists' desperate hunt for information on the elusive new species, the book goes on to examine the dramatic events that quickly led to the warbler's precarious status and its eventual emergence as a lightning rod for controversy. The Kirtland's warbler is often described as a "bird of fire" for its preference for nesting in areas cleared by wildfire. But it also warrants the name for the passion it ignites in humans. Both tragic and uplifting, the story of this intriguing bird is a stirring example of how strong leadership, vision, commitment, sustained effort, and cooperation can come together to protect our natural world.
