Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Histories of North American Birds: With Special Reference to Their Breeding Habits and Eggs; With Twelve Lithographic Plates It is not intended that this work shall consist merely of descriptions of nests and eggs. Special attention has been given to the life history, the migratory and breeding ranges, and food of each species. In this connection the latest information, including the field notes made by myself and others and hitherto unpublished, has been freely used. Although involving considerably more labor and a certain amount of repeti tion, I treat each species and subspecies separately, and endeavor to define the breeding range of each as accurately as possible. This method is to some extent open to criticism, and especially so where a species is divided into several geographical races between the boundaries of whose ranges a neutral zone exists in which they intergrade. On account of the limited knowledge we possess of many of our birds, I am well aware that the information given under this head is more or less imperfect, but. This is irremediable in many instances at present. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
