Excerpt from Descriptions of the First Plumage in Various Species of North American Birds First plumage. Generally similar to adult, but with the spots on the under parts much thicker, more-diffuse, and dull black instead of reddish brown. The pileum is slightly obscured by a blackish wash; the rump rich golden-brown, and the spotting on the wing-coverts fawn-color. From specimens in my collection obtained at Cambridge, July 13, 1874. Fall specimens differ from full-plumaged spring birds in having the upper parts of a darker, richer red, with a much stronger rufous wash oh the under parts.

Sparrows are as complicated as they are common. This is an essential guide to identifying 76 kinds, along with a fascinating history of human interactions with them. What, exactly, is a sparrow? All birders (and many non‑birders) have essentially the same mental image of a pelican, a duck, or a flamingo, and a guide dedicated to waxwings or kingfishers would need nothing more than a sketch and a single sentence to satisfactorily identify its subject. Sparrows are harder to pin down. This book covers one family (Passerellidae), which includes towhees and juncos, and 76 members of the sparrow clan. Birds have a human history, too, beginning with their significance to native cultures and continuing through their discovery by science, their taxonomic fortunes and misfortunes, and their prospects for survival in a world with ever less space for wild creatures. This book includes not just facts and measurements, but stories--of how birds got their names and how they were discovered--of their entanglement with human history.

Excerpt from The American Natural History, Vol. 3: A Foundation of Useful Knowledge of the Higher Animals of North America; Birds (Concluded) Whenever, during the hour just before sunset, you see a good-sized bird with dark plumage, long, sharp-pointed wings, and a big white spot on the under surface of each wing, wheeling, soaring, dropping and circling through the air, you may know that it IS a Nighthawk, catching insects. Its flight is graceful and free, and when on the aerial war-path it is a very industrious bird. Some people compare this bird on the wing with bats; but I see no resemblance save the bare fact of semi-nocturnal flight. This bird, and the other mem bers of its Family, are among the very few North American birds that capture winged insects high in mid-air, and for this reason, even if. There were no other, all the Goatsuckers should be most rigidly protected everywhere. The time for shooting the Nighthawk for sport has long gone by, never to return.

Excerpt from The Birds of Maine: With Key to and Description of the Various, Species Known to Occur or to Have Occurred, in the State, an Account of Their Distribution and Migration, Showing Their Relative Abundance in the Various Counties of the State as Well as Other Regions, and Contr The plan of the work is arranged along the lines hereafter described. The American Ornithologists' Union check-list and the Supplements thereto have been the base used for the numbers and scientific nomenclature. In addition to the com mon name of each species, as given in the A. O. U. List, an effort has been made to give as many as possible, of the local names by which each may be known. Analytical keys to the various orders and species have been given, and under each species the various plumages are described in a few words and measurements given. The descriptions and keys are in no sense to be understood as the result of original study, but are compiled from the various descriptions given in Ridgway's Manual of North American Birds, Ridgway's Birds of North and Middle America, Chapman's Handbook of Birds of Eastern North America, Dwight's Sequence of the Plumages and Moults of the Passerine Birds of New York and other standard works, eflort being made to change the language of descriptions taken from these works and retain the meaning in fewer words. Following the description of plumage under each species is given a brief summary of the geographical distribution.
