Description
History of Oregon Ornithology is a detailed and entertaining tour of how birds were first observed and studied by explorers in what is now Oregon. The narrative takes the reader from Lewis and Clark through the 1950s, then refocuses on how birding and related amateur field observation grew outside the realm of academic and conservation agencies.
