Book Description

Excerpt from A List of the Birds of New Hampshire In the following pages an attempt has been made to bring to gether a list of the species of birds known to have occurred with in the State of New Hampshire during historic times, together with a general account of their distribution, faunal position, times of migration, and, in case of the rarer species, a detailed list of the known instance of occurrence. The present list can be at best only preliminary, and there remains much yet to be done in 'the way of obtaining more complete information as to the de tails of distribution and migration, and particularly so in the case of the water birds. In addition to much that has been already recorded in many books and periodicals, a considerable body of unpublished facts relative to the birds of the State is here included, based not only on the writer's personal observations, but also on those of a num ber of ornithologists who have contributed most generously of their notes, and to whom due acknowledgment is made.
