Excerpt from Rapacious Birds of OhioThe greater part of this paper was originally written for and published in the columns of the Ohio Farmer for 1858 and 1859, as the first por tion of a Natural History of the Birds of Ohio, the intention being to continue these articles until all our known species were described. The idea of doing this occurred to me in consequence of a conversation with my friend - Ohio's veteran naturalist - Prof. J. P. Kirtland, in which he expressed a wish that some one ere long would write a description of our birds, as in consequence of the changes produced by man, many species were becoming scarce, while a few that in the first days of the settlement of our State were comparatively numerous had ceased to visit us, and could not strictly be included in our fauna, and as such changes were still going on in an accelerated degree, in twenty years hence no person could write a history of the feathered inhabitants of our woods, prairies and waters, with a positive knowledge of all the species being indigenous.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
