Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Birds of Kansas The title of this work is explanatory of its object, and therefore does away with the usual preface or introductory remarks, further than to say, that the authors aim has been to present to the general reader, as well as to the student interested in bird life, a book containing the latest knowledge in regard to the habits, etc., of our birds. It embraces 343 species and subspecies. Several other species and subspecies are, without doubt, entitled to recognition in this work, but they have not as yet been observed in the State. The photogravure illustrations represent 529 mounted birds (my own work) in "The Goss Ornithological Collection." The characteristic descriptions of the different orders, families, genera, species and races are chiefly from "North American Land and Water Birds," by Baird, Brewer and Ridgway, with the necessary changes in nomenclature and classification to conform with that of the American Ornithologist´s Union. I have also quoted freely from Mr. Ridgway´s "Manual" and "Birds of Illinois," and occasionally from Dr. Elliott Coues´ "Key to North American Birds." In all cases where credit is not given, the characteristic descriptions are referable to the first-named works. I follow these works because they are more complete than I could possibly make them from the small number of specimens at hand, or to which I have ready access.
