- catalog abstract ""With its colorful landscape and wonderful diversity of plant and animal communities, the southwestern borderland has attracted naturalists for centuries. As Col. Thomas Henry noted in 1853, there "are to be found many curious birds, peculiar to the country." This book identifies more than 100 early ornithologists and explorers who entered the Southwest from 1528 to 1900, all of whom have contributed in significant ways to our understanding of the region's avian life." "Dan Fischer identifies those individuals who documented the natural history of the Southwest and summarizes their contributions to our knowledge about the region's birds - particularly through discovering and naming them. He tells why the ornithologists came to the region, what they saw, who described and named the new discoveries, and who were the first to sketch or paint new birds."--Jacket.".
