Birds of New York, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Birds of New York, Vol. 1 In illustrating a work of the importance and scope of the present one it has been necessary to draw upon larger material than was available in my own cabinets, so recourse was had to the more complete collections Of others. The majority of the land birds and smaller water birds have been drawn from specimens of my own collecting, while most of the larger species were kindly loaned by different institutions; the New York State Museum at Albany, the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and the Department Of Zoology of Cornell University.
