Download or read book Iowa Bird Watching written by Bill Thompson and published by Cool Springs Press. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are no state-specific books on how to appreciate birds and learn more about them. Like gardening, bird watching is a regional hobby, and the birds that frequent the backyards of Missouri differ from the birds found in Michigan. This series targets beginning and intermediate bird watchers from each Midwestern state. The books are state-specific and highlight the birds that are found in each state. In addition to the profile, each bird entry includes a map to identity the specific range covered by the bird. 100 birds are presented via full-color photographs for accurate identification. Full-color seasonal section informs the reader of: the migrating birds that can be seen that month, the foods that attract those birds, the plants that can assist in attracting birds. Our partner, Bird Watcher's Digest, has sold more than 4 million copies of their booklets on bird varieties, bird habitat, feeding, and related outdoor topics.

Download or read book The Iowa Breeding Bird Atlas written by Laura Spess Jackson and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Iowa Breeding Bird Atlas"—the first comprehensive statewide survey of Iowa's breeding birds—provides a detailed record of the composition and distribution of the avifauna of the Hawkeye State. The atlas documents the presence of 199 species, 158 of which were confirmed breeding. This landmark volume will alert Iowans to the limited distribution of numerous species and serve as a guide to the management practices—such as forest and wetland management, set-aside programs, reduction in farm chemical use, and crop diversity—which could help insure that many future changes are positive ones. "The Iowa Breeding Bird Atlas" provides a welcome and much-needed baseline for future comparisons of changes in Iowa's birdlife and, by extension, the lives of all animals in the state.

Download or read book The Scientific Nomenclature of Birds in the Upper Midwest written by James Sandrock and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The translation and explanation of genus and species names yield markers to help us identify birds in the field as well as remember distinctive traits. Having a basic understanding of the scientific and common names of birds reveals insights into their color, behavior, habitat, or geography. Knowing that Cyanocitta means “blue chatterer” and cristata means “crested, tufted” or that Anas means “a duck” and clypeata means “armed with a shield” tells you just about everything you need to identify a Blue Jay or a Northern Shoveler. In this portable reference book, James Sandrock and Jean Prior explain the science and history behind the names of some 450 birds of the Upper Midwest states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Since many of these birds occur throughout the United States, this handbook can also be used by birders in other parts of the country. The authors examine the roots, stems, and construction of scientific names from their classical Latin and Greek or other linguistic origins. The translations of these words and insights into their sources yield quirky, tantalizing facts about the people, geography, habitat, and mythology behind bird names. Each entry also includes the bird’s common name as well as local or regional names. Beginning birders confused by scientific names as well as more experienced birders curious about such names will find that the book opens unexpected connections into linguistic, historical, biological, artistic, biographical, and even aesthetic realms. Highlighting the obvious and not-so-obvious links between birds and language, this practical guide continues a long scholarly tradition of such books by and for those afoot in the field. Whether you are hiking with binoculars or watching a backyard bird feeder or reading at home, The Scientific Nomenclature of Birds in the Upper Midwest will greatly enhance your appreciation of birds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Iowa: A Thesis Feeling the need for a state catalogue of Iowa birds which should embody the latest results of field work and conform to the present accepted code of nomenclature, the writer began to collect material for the present volume in the fall of 1903, as a graduate student at the State University of Iowa. The library of the department of zoology and the Talbot collection of books in the general library of the University, the latter rich in books of early North American travel and rare scientific volumes, were quite well supplied with the necessary bibliographical material, and through the courtesy of the library authorities a number of rare books were obtained from the Library of Congress in furtherance of the work. The Museum of Natural History of the State University of Iowa is particularly rich in birds, containing the collections of C. C. Nutting, Frank Bond, Dr. Horr, D. H. Talbot. And others. The Talbot collection, donated by Mr. D. Talbot of Sioux City, com prises several thousand specimens and many exceptionally large series, chie y from the Mississippi Valley, which are invaluable in determining the status of certain disputed forms. The writer's small private collection and field notes, running from the year 1890 to the present time, have also been freely used.
