Description:Excerpt from Camps and Cruises of an Ornithologist During the past seven years, with the assistance of artist and preparateur, I have devoted the nesting season of birds to collecting specimens and making field studies and photographs on which to base a series of what have been termed "Habitat Groups" of North American birds for the American Museum of Natural History. These groups are designed to illustrate not only the habits and haunts of the birds shown, but also the country in which they live. The birds and, in most instances, their nests and young, are therefore placed in a facsimile reproduction, containing from sixty to one hundred and sixty square feet of the locality in which they are found, and to this realistic representation of their habitat is added a background, painted from nature, and so deftly joined to the foreground, that it is difficult to distinguish where one ends and the other begins. (See the photographs of groups on pages, 62, 111, 231, 243, 291.) In selecting the subjects for these groups, not alone birds, but the country they inhabit has been taken into consideration; it being desired to have the series of great panoramic backgrounds, some of which are twenty-eight feet in length, portray not only the haunts of certain American birds, but America as well. Characteristic shore, marsh, prairie, plain, desert, forest, and mountain scenes present the major features of American physiography, and each is executed with an accuracy which gives to the groups a geographical as well as an ornithological value. Some subjects were in nearby localities, which were easily visited; others were in remote places which were reached with more or less difficulty.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
