Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive analysis of the Avifauna or the catalog of avian species of Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally published in 1878 as a revision of an earlier 1877 publication, the author provides a detailed listing and analysis of 256 avian species identified in the Cincinnati region. The author, a naturalist, presents a detailed look at the local bird populations, providing not only species listings but also detailed notes on the habits, habitats, and behaviors of the various bird species. This detailed analysis of the local avifauna provides insights into the ecological diversity and richness of the area. The author also examines changes in the local avifauna over the course of forty years, discussing the extirpation of several larger species and the appearance of several new species. This discussion provides a valuable glimpse into the impacts of human activity and environmental change on the local ecosystem. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ornithology, Cincinnati history, or the environmental changes that have occurred in the region over time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
