  • Philadelphia to the Coast in Early Days, and the Development Of
    Volume XVIII January-February. 1916 Numbor 1 PHILADELPHIA TO THE COAST IN EARLY DAYS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN ORNITHOLOGY PRIOR TO 1850+ By WITYER STONE T IS MY PRIVILEGE at this meeting to represent the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. On the long journey from coast to coast that-the I eastern members have just completed, the names both of localities that we passed and of birds that we saw, have constantly called to mind the fact that other and more worthy Philadelphia ornithologists had made this trip before. They came not to participate in scientific meetings nor to enjoy the generous hospitality of friends and fellow students, but as pioneers in investigating the natural resources of one of the richest sections of our continent; to search out in the wilderness the new species of birds, mammals, plants, etc., to bring home specimens upon which scientific descriptions and names might be established. They came, not surrounded by all the comforts of modern travel, but on foot or on horseback, picking their way through unexplored wilds, exposed to indian attack and at the mercy of the elements, dependent largely upon ts country through which they passed for sustenance. Some of them gave2 their lives in the pursuit of our favorite science, and to one and all we owe a debt of gratitude for the part they played in developing our knowledge of the ornithology of the Pacific Coast. Though we are inclined to think of these early explorers as men of mature years, they were mostly young fellows from 19 to 21 or 30 years of age, ready for any hardships or danger in the pursuit of their object.

  • Birdobserver17.4 Page183-188 an Honor Without Profit Richard K
    AN HONOR WITHOUT PROFIT by Richard K. Walton eponymy n The derivation of a name of a city, country, era, institution, or other place or thing from the name of a person. Gruson in his Words for Birds gives seven categories for the origins of common bird names: appearance (Black-capped Chickadee), eponymy (Henslow’s Sparrow), echoics (Whooping Crane), habitat (Marsh Wren), behavior (woodpecker), food (oystercatcher), and region (California Condor). The second category comprises people and places memorialized in bird names. Many of our most famous ornithologists as well as a fair number of obscure friends and relations have been so honored. A majority of these names were given during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the pioneering era of North American ornithology. While some of these tributes are kept alive in our everyday birding language, others have slipped into oblivion. Recognition or obscurity may ultimately hinge on the names we use for birds. There is no more famous name in the birding culture than that of John James Audubon. His epic The Birds of America was responsible for putting American science, art, and even literature on the international map. This work was created, produced, promoted, and sold largely by Audubon himself. In the years since his death in 1851, the Audubon legend has been the inspiration for a multitude of ornithological pursuits and causes, both professional and amateur. Audubon painted some five hundred birds in Birds of America and described these in his five-volume Ornithological Biographies. Many of the names given by Audubon honored men and women of his era.

  • Birds of America
    A GUIDE TO AUDUBON’S BIRDS OF AMERICA A Concordance Containing Current Names of the Birds, Plate Names with Descriptions of Plate Variants, a Description of the Bien Edition, and Corresponding Indexes by . . HISTORY OF THE BIRDS OF AMERICA DOUBLE ELEPHANT FOLIO BY JOHN JAMES AUDUBON, 1827–1838 OHN JAMES AUDUBON was born April , , at Les Cayes in the JFrench colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) and died January , , at Minnie’s Land, his estate on the Hudson River just north of what were then the limits of New York City. He was the son of a French naval officer, Jean Audubon, and his mistress, Jeanne Rabine, who died shortly after giving birth to John James. When the little boy was six years old, his father took him home to France, where he was lovingly raised by his father’s tolerant wife, Anne Moynet Audubon. In , young Audubon went to the United States, and in , he married Lucy Bakewell. They had two sons, Victor Gifford, born in , and John Woodhouse, born in . Two daughters died in infancy. In , after various failed attempts to succeed in business, Audubon set- tled down to his life’s ambition, to paint every bird in the “United States and its Territories,” as he defined his own boundaries. Although he did not succeed in capturing every bird, the enormity of what he accomplished is staggering in its size and beauty. Audubon’s plan was to have prints made from his paintings, which he would sell on a subscription basis. In , therefore, Audubon made his way to Philadelphia, carrying his paintings with him in the hope of finding someone who would create prints from his work.

  • 180 Why Storm-Petrel Diversity in the Eastern Pacific Is So High. Spear and Ainley Speculate That the Age, Stability, and Physic
    BOOK REVIEWS why storm-petrel diversity in the eastern Pacific is so high. Spear and Ainley speculate that the age, stability, and physical diversity of the habitat have played a major role in facilitating the birds’ diversity and that the clumping of nesting habitats and the clumps’ wide separation by ocean has encouraged speciation. This review omits many of the finer details of the individual species and their as- sociations, the details of which at times can be rather daunting for those of us who have little experience with all of the species. For readers interested in these poorly known birds, however, a deeper look at this monograph is profitable. Should you wish to learn more, Spear and Ainley, with W. A. Walker, published another monograph in 2007, “Foraging Dynamics of Seabirds in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean” (Studies in Avian Biology no. 35). Spear and Ainley, through meticulous recording of observations at sea and subsequent thorough data analysis, have provided an un- paralleled contribution to our understanding of these remarkable birds that will stand as a key reference for many years.

    Volume 58, Number 2 October 2012 Greater Sage-Grouse ✦ Alan Krakauer Sage-grouse breeding congregations, or leks, are one of the great marvels of nature. Imagine waiting in a blind with the howls of coyotes and songs of open country birds drifting down the cold pre-dawn air. Suddenly staccato wing beats herald the daily arrival of male sage-grouse. The lek comes alive with all manner of sounds—swishes, coos, whistles, pops, guttural clacking from the males, along with quacks and whines from the females. As the sky lightens, you can finally see the action: males looking like alien ambassadors, inflat- ing their vocal sacs and flashing white breast feathers, confronting other males on territory boundaries and battling with their wings. All the while, the much smaller females wander Greater Sage-Grouse.
