The Scientific Nomenclature of Birds in the Upper Midwest


Free Download James Sandrock, "The Scientific Nomenclature of Birds in the Upper Midwest "
English | ISBN: 1609382250 | 2014 | 192 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The translation and explanation of genus and species names yield markers to help us identify birds in the field as well as remember distinctive traits. Having a basic understanding of the scientific and common names of birds reveals insights into their color, behavior, habitat, or geography. Knowing that Cyanocitta means "blue chatterer" and cristata means "crested, tufted" or that Anas means "a duck" and clypeata means "armed with a shield" tells you just about everything you need to identify a Blue Jay or a Northern Shoveler. In this portable reference book, James Sandrock and Jean Prior explain the science and history behind the names of some 450 birds of the Upper Midwest states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Since many of these birds occur throughout the United States, this handbook can also be used by birders in other parts of the country.

Free Download Jack Gedney, Jonathan Todd Ross (Narrator), "The Private Lives of Public Birds: Learning to Listen to the Birds Where We Live"
English | ASIN: B0CRJW8G5J | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~06:15:00 | 177 MB
A book to help the ordinary birdwatcher appreciate the fascinating songs, stories, and science of common birds.
Jack Gedney’s studies of birds provide resonant, affirming answers to the questions: Who is this bird? In what way is it beautiful? Why does it matter? Masterfully linking an abundance of poetic references with up-to-date biological science, Gedney shares his devotion to everyday Western birds in fifteen essays.
Each essay illuminates the life of a single species and its relationship to humans, and how these species can help us understand birds in general. A dedicated birdwatcher and teacher, Gedney finds wonder not only in the speed and glistening beauty of the Anna’s hummingbird, but also in her nest building. He acclaims the turkey vulture’s and red-tailed hawk’s roles in our ecosystem, and he venerates the inimitable California scrub jay’s work planting acorns.
