The birds of Cuba.
- Cambridge: The Nuttall Ornthological Club, 1923
Cambridge: The Nuttall Ornthological Club, 1923. Original edition. Very Good. 29 cm; 141 pages, and four photogravure plates with tissue guards. In cloth, with scarce original plain blank dust jacket. Fore-edge a little spotted, dust jacket dusty, else fine.
In constrast with the somehwat drier scientific prose of American ornithologists such as Baird and Beebe, Barbour like to draw in his affective observations of bird behavior, as well as discussions of weather, landscape, the company he keeps, and cultural reflections. The work is no less scientific for all that. Published in the series of Memoirs of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, #6. A fine copy.
