As originally projected for publication in a different connection, the work consisted merely of a report upon the peculiar features of bird-life in the area under consideration, with biographies of the species not treated in the "Birds of the Northwest". But the author's resources have proved to be so largely in excess of the requirements of such a report that the work has outgrown the limits of a single volume, and become a full exposition of our present knowledge of the subject, by the incorporation of much technical matter concerning North American ornithology at large, hitherto the private possession of the author and now first made accessible to the public.

Excerpt from Birds of the Colorado Valley: A Repository of Scientific and Popular Information Concerning North American Ornithology Since the appearance of the Birds of the Northwest it has been a matter of frequently expressed regret that the accounts of the birds treated in that volume did not include such descrip tions of the species as should enable those using the work to identify specimens they might have in hand. It has been deemed advisable to supply this want in the present treatise, especially as a considerable proportion of the characteristic birds of the Colorado Valley are not so well known as are most of those inhabiting the region of the Missouri. The descrip tions are original, in nearly every case having been drawn up by the author directly from the specimens themselves, with great regard to precision of concise statement. All the species ascertained to occur in the Valley of the Colorado, being those which form the special subject of the work, are thus treated, the other North American birds of which the volume takes account being introduced only with their synonymy and a brief state ment of the habitat of each. Respecting the biographies or life-histories of the birds, which constitute the main text of the present volume, the author's view, that this portion of the subject should be so far divested of technicality as to meet the tastes and wants of the public rather than the scientific requirements of the schoolmen in ornithology, will doubtless meet with general and emphatic approval. It is possible to make natural history entertaining and attractive as well as instructive, with no loss in scientific precision, but with great gain in stimulating, strengthening and confirming the wholesome influence which the study of the natural sciences may exert upon the higher grades of mental culture; nor is it a matter of little moment to so shape the knowledge which results from the naturalist's labors that its increase may be susceptible of the widest possible difiusion.

Elliott Coues by Paul Russell Cutright,Michael J. Brodhead Pdf
Best known as the author of the pioneering Key to North American Birds, Elliott Coues (1842-99) was one of America's most renowned but least understood ornithologists and historians-as well as a naturalist, anatomist, taxonomist, writer and editor, Army surgeon on the American frontier, occultist, and the youngest person ever to become a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Now available in paperback, this comprehensive biography of a brilliant, ambitious, and phenomenally productive man ranks as the definitive life of Elliott Coues.

Excerpt from A History of the Birds of Colorado West of the lo5th meridian, and rising with extra ordinary abruptness from the plains to the east, the Rocky Mountains occupy roughly the middle third of the State. In a very general way the system forms two parallel ranges running north and south, joined by subsidiary east and west connections; between these are the great mountain parks, open Wide valleys rather bare of trees, and situated at elevations of to feet. The chief of these are North and South Parks, drained by the North and South Platte rivers, which meet out in the plains of Nebraska and join the Missouri near Omaha Middle Park, drained by the Grand River, the principal af uent of the Colorado River of the west, draining into the Gulf of California; and the San Luis Valley, draining into the Rio Grande on the south.
