Sinopsis

This volume features all 109 bird illustrations, 20 colour plates, and the text from Catesby's ""Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahamas"". Annotating Catesby's writings from a modern perspective, the editor discusses the perception of each species during the colonial period, comments on its habits, and compares Catesby's observations with those of such other naturalists as John White, John Lawson, Alexander Wilson, and John James Audubon.
