Book Description
This book is an essential reference for anybody who has watched birds in this amazing county. The County Avifaunas give full details of the status and range of every species recorded in the county in question. Each title covers all species on the county list, with a detailed breakdown of rarity records, and each has introductory sections describing the county's general ecology, climate, weather patterns, its ornithological history and conservation record. Essex is of national and international importance to many migrating and wintering wildfowl and waders, which can be found on the estuaries. Further inland, the Lea Valley harbours important populations of several species within the complex of reservoirs and gravel-pits. Elsewhere, the diverse habits of woodland and parkland, heaths and commons, agricultural land and urban areas mean that at all times of year there is the opportunity to see upwards of 100 species in a day with little effort. This book analyses and summarises all the data collated and documented over the last 200 years and includes available records to the end of 2004. Introductory chapters discuss the geology and habitats of Essex and the amazing fossil bird record. The individual accounts provide an up-to-date status of each species and patterns of occurrence within Essex. A distribution map is included for most breeding species. A breakdown and analysis are provided for all county rarities. Superb line drawings and photographs illustrate the book, all by talented local artists and photographers.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Birds of Essex: A Contribution to the Natural History of the County The publication of this work is an attempt to meet what has, I believe, been a long-felt want, similar works having met with acceptance in most other counties. Students of Nature have ever been fully alive to the importance of works describing the Fauna of Counties or other local areas. From such works, the larger general histories of particular countries and regions are built up. Ornithologists, especially, have been very active in publishing local works of this kind. There are now very few of the larger and more important English counties in which some attempt has not been made by a local observer to describe in the form of a book the species of birds which have been observed from time to time to frequent his own particular district. Stevenson's Birds of Norfolk, Mitchell's Birds of Lancashire, Clarke and Roebuck's Vertebrata of Yorkshire, Babington's Birds of Suffolk, Harting's Birds of Middlesex, Macphcrson and Duckworth's Birds of Cumberland, Smith's Birds of Somersetshire, and Mansell-Pleydell's Birds of Dorsetshire, are a few good instances of the kind of work referred to, while there are many more, equally worthy of mention, and others arc known to be in preparation. Hitherto, however, the birds of Essex have not found a chronicler. It is to supply this omission that I have laboured. My present work, for which I have been collecting information and materials for over fifteen years, will, I trust, interest all lovers of Nature, and, in particular, all bird-students, not only within our own county but also throughout Great Britain.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Birds of Essex County, Massachusetts IN the following pages will be found first, a brief description of Essex County with a general view of its geology, ora, and faunal areas; then follow chapters on the regions and their birds, peculiar to a maritime county, namely, the ocean, the sand beaches, the sand dunes, and the salt marshes. There are also chapters on the fresh marshes and on the ponds and their birds. These are followed by Chapters on the records from lighthouses along the coast and on the ornithological history of Essex County. In the introduction to the Annotated List, the names of many ornitho logical workers are given who have generously contributed their notes and Observations, and to all of these I wish here to express my sincere thanks. Particularly I wish to thank Mr. William Brewster for the use of his collection and for the identification of doubtful specimens; Mr. Walter Deane for many kindnesses and for reviewing the botanical part of this list; Mr. W. A. Jeffries for his own notes and those of his brother, the late Dr. J. A. Jeffries; Mr. J. A. Farley for many valuable records, especially as regards the breeding of birds of prey; Dr. J. C. Phillips for his records from Wenham Lake; Mr. John Rob inson and Mr. John H. Sears for their kindness to me in the use of the col lection of the Peabody Academy, at Salem; Mr. Ralph Hoffmann for much kindly help and criticism, and Dr. Glover M. Allen for his great assistance in revising manuscript and proof. I am also indebted to him for the map. I have attempted to make the Annotated List. As' complete and accurate as possible, and have banished to a doubtful list all birds about which there is the least question. In the case of most of the water birds the annotations are given fully from my own observations not only as to the habits of the birds but also as to their call notes and their recognition in the field, as these birds are so characteristic of a seashore region, and are so often slightly treated in the books. Of the land birds, a few only of the characteristic and interesting ones are treated at any length, such as the Horned Lark, American Crow, Snow Bunting, Lapland Longspur, Ipswich Sparrow, Sharp-tailed Sparrows, the Swal lows, and a few others. A Bibliography is given at the end of the memoir. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
