1927SKU2020026793Houghton Mifflin Company 1927. Hardcover. Very Good/No Dustjacket as Issued. Florence Augusta Merriam Bailey 1863 – 1948 was an American ornithologist birdwatcher and nature writer. Between 1890 and 1939 she published a series of field guides on North American bird life. These guides were often written with amateur birdwatchers in mind leading to the popularity of the birding movement. Bailey was one of the first nationally recognized female ornithologists of her time and dedicated her life to educating the public about the vitality and protection of birds. As a student she penned the first of many articles arguing against the fashionable use of bird feathers and wings as adornment. At age 26 she published her first book Birds through an Opera-Glass which was widely regarded as the first modern traditional bird guide. She co-organized early Audubon Society chapters and became the first female associate of the American Ornithologists Union. Her tireless role in advocating against the systematic devastation of seabirds and wading birds led in part to the congressional authorization of the Lacey Act of 1900. Bailey wrote over 100 articles for several ornithological journals and 10 books including Birds of New Mexico–for which she was honored with the Brewster Medal which is awarded biennially to the writer of the most important ornithological work on birds of the Western Hemisphere. With her husband Vernon Bailey a U.S. Biological Survey naturalist she traveled extensively throughout the American West to explore little-known flora and fauna. Bailey’s unwavering love of nature and remarkable powers of observation combined with a talent for illustrative writing and a high reverence for science inspired others to discover the diversity and value of living birds. She also received a number of honors beginning in 1929 when the American Ornithologists' Union elected Merriam their first female Fellow. A scarce Bailey title. Houghton Mifflin Company hardcover
