Ornithology Laboratory Notebook - For Recording Observations Made in the Field and Studies Made in the Laboratory on the Birds of North America

This text contains a detailed workbook designed for recording observations made in the field, as well as studies made in the laboratory on the birds of North America. Originally planned for the use of elementary classes in ornithology at Cornell University, an increased demand for such a text resulted in its being modified as to make it useful to a wider audience. The sections of this book include: 'Topography of the Bird', 'Feather Tracts of the Bird', 'Parts of the Feather', 'Skeleton of the Bird', 'Diagrams of Feather Types', Description of Male House Sparrow, Key to the Orders of North American Birds, Keys to the Families of 'Birds Found in North America', 'Identification of Bird Skins to the Oder and Family', 'Orders of North American Birds and Their Distinctive Characteristics', 'Families of North American Birds', et cetera. We are proud to republish this antique text here complete with a new introduction on ornithology.
