Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades following the Civil War--as industrialization, urbanization, and economic expansion increasingly reshaped the landscape--many Americans began seeking adventure and aesthetic gratification through avian pursuits. By the turn of the century, hundreds of thousands of middle-and upper-class devotees were rushing to join Audubon societies, purchase field guides, and keep records of the species they encountered in the wild. Mark Barrow vividly reconstructs this story not only through the experiences of birdwatchers, collectors, conservationists, and taxidermists, but also through those of a relatively new breed of bird enthusiast: the technically oriented ornithologist. In exploring how ornithologists struggled to forge a discipline and profession amidst an explosion of popular interest in natural history, A Passion for Birds provides the first book-length history of American ornithology from the death of John James Audubon to the Second World War. Barrow shows how efforts to form a scientific community distinct from popular birders met with only partial success. The founding of the American Ornithologists' Union in 1883 and the subsequent expansion of formal educational and employment opportunities in ornithology marked important milestones in this campaign. Yet by the middle of the twentieth century, when ornithology had finally achieved the status of a modern profession, its practitioners remained dependent on the services of birdwatchers and other amateur enthusiasts. Environmental issues also loom large in Barrow's account as he traces areas of both cooperation and conflict between ornithologists and wildlife conservationists. Recounting a colorful story based on the interactions among a wide variety of bird-lovers, this book will interest historians of science, environmental historians, ornithologists, birdwatchers, and anyone curious about the historical roots of today's birding boom.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Egg Check List of North American Birds: Giving Accurate Descriptions of the Color and Size of the Eggs, and Locations of the Nests of the Land and Water Birds of North America The unprecedented interest manifest in the delightful study of Birds, their nests and eggs has, within the past few years called forth numerous works on the subject, and the literature of the study has vastly increased, especially in this country, where the held is comparatively new. The present publication is an entirely new departure from the beaten paths of voluminous works. It treats especially the subject indicated in its title. Probably no one has felt the need of a work of this character more than the writer. In making a life business of Natural History, I receive numerous inquiries of the following nature - often, written on postal cards: "Please describe the eggs of the following birds for me; also state the location where I am likely to find their nests, i. e., Carolina Wren, Red-tailed Hawk, Kingfisher, Blue-yellow-backed Warbler, and be particular in describing the nidification of the Blue Grosbeak and Canada Grouse." I quote the above from a postal card recently received, and which is undoubtedly from a young student of Oology. It would be almost impossible for me to reply fully to all communications of this kind which I receive in the course of a year. These interogatives led me to put in a condensed form the descriptions which are now before the reader, and as the author of the first "Egg Check List of North American Birds," I venture its publication and await the results. The species of eggs described belong strictly to the North American fauna. These descriptions are taken chiefly from my private collection, consisting upwards of four hundred species of North American Birds' Eggs, mostly in original sets, together with the skins of the birds. It is intended that through the aid of this Check List the collector may be enabled to identify his specimens while in the field. He will learn from this List what a great similarity there is in the eggs of the different species, and in fact, whole families, and how careful he must be to determine correctly. In the latter part of the present work there will be found concise directions for collecting Birds' Eggs and Nests, to which I specially call the attention of all young collectors. Under the head of "Notes" I give additional information regarding the nesting habits of many of the species. I am fully aware that the present List is not entirely complete, and therefore earnestly solicit additions, corrections and notes of every character relating to the subject from Ornithologists and Oologists.
