Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on Preserving and Mounting Birds This little handbook is expressly intended to serve as guide for the amateur bird collector, desirous of preserving and mounting his own specimens. In these days of ultra-civilization, when it has become the fashion in some quarters to scoff at the idea of bird-collecting, a book on bird-preserving will not unlikely be received with some misgiving; and if any apology is needed for the appearance of the present volume, let it be that in spite of the abuse that has been showered upon the bird collector in recent years, he still flourishes in most parts of the country, and moreover, is likely to continue so long as the sporting elements inherent in every healthy British boy endure; for after all, it is, as Mr. E. C. Arnold has remarked, out of the schoolboy and his catapult in most instances that the great naturalist is eventually evolved. Happily for Britain, the old sporting spirit, which has done so much to establish the race in its present position amongst the nations of the earth is still strong at home, and shows no signs of abating. Looked at from any angle, the wholesale slaughter of birds must be condemned by every thoughtful man, and all good sportsmen involuntarily recoil in disgust from a record of butchery, miscalled sport.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Taxidermy: A Complete Guide in Collecting and Preserving Birds and Mammals Possibly the political troubles in which our country was involved had something to do with the great ornithological depression which fell upon the pop ular mind. Strange as it may appear, however, for a period of thirty years after the completion of Audubon's great work, not a general popular work of any kind was written on birds in America. Then appeared Samuels' Birds of New England, pub lished in 1867, a work which apparently did much toward turning the popular tide in favor of orni thological study, for from that time we can perceive a general awakening. Not only did the newspa pers and magazines teem with articles on birds, but in the five succeeding years we find three impor tant works on American ornithology announced as about to appear: Baird, Brewer, and Ridgeway's History of American Birds, of which three vol umes have appeared, published in 1874; May nard's Birds of Florida, issued in parts, but af terwards merged into the Birds of Eastern North America, completed in 1882, and Goues' Key.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Preserving and Bird Mounting The best time for preserving specimens is in spring, because then the cock birds are in the best feather, and the weather is not too warm. In mild weather three days is a good time to keep a bird, as then the skin will part from the flesh easily. If a specimen has bled much over the feathers, so as to damage them, wash them carefully but thoroughly with warm water and a sponge, and immediately cover them with pounded whitening, which will adhere to them. Dry it as it hangs upon them slowly before the fire, and then triturating the hardened lumps gently between the fingers, the feathers will come out almost as clean as ever. To test whether the Specimen is too decom posed to skin, try the feathers about the auriculars, and just above the tail, and if they do not move you may safely proceed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Taxidermy: A Complete Guide in Collecting and Preserving Birds and Mammals Twenty-five or thirty years ago amateur collectors of birds were rare; in fact, excepting in the immediate vicinity of large cities, individuals who spent their leisure time in gathering birds for the sole purpose of study, were so seldom met with that, when one did occur, his occupation was so unusual as to excite the comments of his neighbors, and he became famous for miles around as highly eccentric. Such a man was regarded as harmless, but as just a little "cracked," and the lower classes gazed at him with open-mouthed wonder as he pursued his avocations; while the more educated of his fellows regarded him with a kind of placid contempt.

This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visitors Guide to the Local Collection of Birds in the American Museum of Natural History, New York City: With an Annotated List of the Birds Known to Occur Within Fifty Miles of New York City The collection this Guide is intended to accompany has been formed especially to aid students in identifying the birds found in the vicinity of New York City. It occupies Cases S and T, in the north wing, at the southwest corner -of the gallery devoted to North American birds. With a few exceptions all the speci mens contained in it were collected within 50 miles of New York City. The species which we have as yet been unable to secure within these limits are represented temporarily by specimens from the North American collection. The collection of Water Birds 'is for the present restricted to summer resident species. So large a proportion of North American Water Birds are found near New York City, that a local collection of them would to a great extent duplicate the North American collection displayed on the opposite side of the gallery. Species of accidental occurrence, or those which have been found in this vicinity but once or twice, are also excluded from the collection. Their presence would only tend to confuse the student and be apt to give him an erroneous idea of the bird's range. The birds are labeled in accordance with the system of nomenclature adopted by the American Ornithologists' Union. The number preceding the name of each species is its permanent number in the Union's 'check-l'ist' of North American birds. In the Guide this number follows the name of the species. The birds are placed in the cases in a continuous numerical series and any desired specimen may thus be readily found by its number. As a matter of local interest an asterisk has been placed before those species which have been observed in Central Park. In the alcove between Cases B and C, in the main bird-hall, will be found a local collection of the nests and eggs of the birds_4.
