Excerpt from Birds of La Plata To return for a few moments to the writer on birds who came so long before me. Don Felix de Azara, a Spanish gentleman, a person of importance in his time, a traveller and author of several works, was yet able to find his chief pleasure in con versing with wild animals in desert places in a remote land. The bird life of those then little-known countries had a special attraction for him, and he was a most excellent observer and described them carefully. His brief notes on their habits are all the better to read on account of his simple natural diction, so rare to find in the Spanish language, the beauty and sonority of which perpetually tempts the writer to prolixity and a florid style.

Excerpt from Birds of La Plata, Vol. 2 Besides the little creaking chirp uttered at short intervals while flying or hovering, this Species has a set song, composed of five or six tenuous and squeak ing notes, uttered in rapid succession when the bird is perched. It is a song like that of the European Goldcrest in shape, and resembles it in sound, but is less musical, or more squeaky.

Excerpt from The Naturalist in La Plata Of all animals, birds have perhaps afforded me most pleasure but most of the fresh knowledge I have collected in this department is contained in a larger work (argentine Ornithology), of which Dr. P. L. Sclater is part author. As I have not gone over any of the subjects dealt with in that work, bird-life has not received more than a fair share attention in the present volume.

Excerpt from Birds of La Plata The matter contained in this work is taken from the two volumes of the Argentine Ornithology published in 1888-9, and was my first book on the subject of bird life. The late Philip Lutley Sclater, who was at that time the chief authority in this country on South American Ornithology, collaborated with me in the work to the extent of arranging the material in accordance with the most popular system of classification, and also adding descriptions, synonymy, etc., of the species unknown to me. All this matter which he contributed in order to make the work a complete list, I have thrown out, along with the synonymy of the species described by me. And there was good reason for this simplification, seeing that we cannot have a complete list owing to the fact that fresh species are continually being added to it by the collectors; these species, new to the list, being mostly intruders or visitors found on the subtropical northern limits of the country. The original work Argentine Ornithology) was thus out of date as soon as published, and the only interest it still retains for the reader is in the account of the birds habits contributed by me.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... PATAGONIAN EARTH-CREEPER Upucerthia dumetoria Above earthy brown; long superciliary stripe pale ochraceous; wings blackish, with a broad transverse cinnamon bar; tail blackish, lateral rectrices tipped with pale cinnamon; beneath dirty white, clear white on the throat and middle of the belly; breast feathers margined with blackish; under wing-coverts pale cinnamon; bill dark horn-colour, pale at the base; feet horn-colour; length 9 inches. These birds are common in Patagonia, being resident there; some individuals, however, migrate north in winter, and I once obtained a pair, male and female, near Buenos Ayres city in the month of June. Their legs are short, but on the ground their movements are very rapid, and, like the Miner (Geositta) already described, they fly reluctantly, preferring to run rapidly from a person walking or riding, and at such times they look curiously like a pigmy Curlew with an extravagantly long beak. They are active, lively birds, and live in pairs, sometimes uniting in small, loose flocks; they are partial to places where scattered bushes grow on a dry, sterile soil, and have a swift, low flight; when flying they frequently utter a shrill, trilling, or rapidly reiterated note, in sound resembling laughter. In manners, flight, language, and colouring this bird closely resembles the smaller short-beaked Geositta cunicularia, and like that species it also breeds in deep holes in banks; but I am not able to say whether it excavates the breeding-hole or takes possession of one already made. Durnford found it breeding in a hole four feet deep in the bank of a dry lagoon. The nest was of dry grass and lined with the fur of the cavy. It contained three white eggs. BROWN CINCLODES Cinclodes fuscus Above dark earthy...
