Bird-nesting in north-west Canada

Preface. stone by myself, as well as the other illustrations of birds and scenery. It must be understood that thebook does not describe all the species which inhabit the North-W est, for many common species known to be summer residents were not even observed, and the songs of many warblers, vireos, sparrows, and other small birds were heard in the bluffs and along the wooded streams, but I could not recognize the species. At some future time I hope to be able to give a more complete list of the birds of the North-W est, and having recently succeeded in obtaining collectors at Great Slave Lake, and at the mouth of the Mackenzie River, on the Arctic coast, I hope, before long to be able to give an account of the birds which breed in this northern region. Though this book claims no literary pretentions, I trust my readers will find it of sufficient interest to be worthy of their perusal, and, with all its faults, I therefore place it before you.
