Excerpt from A Popular Handbook of the Ornithology of the United States and Canada, Vol. 1: Based on Nuttall's Manual, The Land BirdsThe limits of a hand - book demanding the most rigid economy of space, when treating of so extensive a subjecti have been compelled to omit those species which occur only to the westward of the Mississippi valley, though I have endeavored to make mention of every bird that has occurred within this Eastern Faunal Province, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean, and to give their distribution and breeding area so far as these are known. Nuttall knew very little about the Western birds, and therefore only a few short chapters of his have been lost through restricting the scope of the present work to Eastern forms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
