Annotated Bibliography of Oregon Bird Literature Published Before 1935, An

By briefly describing each item, Jobanek reveals its usefulness for contemporary readers. References are organized by author and cross-indexed by species, county, key word, and year of publication. Key words such as "behavior", "conservation", "distribution", "migration", "nesting", "plumage", and "taxonomy" have been assigned to each entry to reflect the primary topic or theme of the Oregon material of the reference. A gazetteer identifies localities mentioned in the annotations.

This bibliography is a valuable new resource for professional and informed amateur ornithologists, wildlife managers, ecologists, natural historians, librarians, and anyone interested in birds in the Pacific Northwest. Its references will offer researchers a base for future studies and allow readers a glimpse of an earlier, golden era in ornithology.
