Excerpt from Birds of La Plata, Vol. 2 Besides the little creaking chirp uttered at short intervals while flying or hovering, this Species has a set song, composed of five or six tenuous and squeak ing notes, uttered in rapid succession when the bird is perched. It is a song like that of the European Goldcrest in shape, and resembles it in sound, but is less musical, or more squeaky.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This is volume II of William Henry Hudson's “Argentine Ornithology”. It is a comprehensive encyclopedia of the birds native to Argentina, with detailed descriptions, historical information, notes on natural history, and more. This volume will appeal to modern readers with an interest in ornithology, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. William Henry Hudson (1841 – 1922) was an Anglo-Argentine naturalist, author, and ornithologist. He was one of the founding members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and is best known for his novel “Green Mansions” (1904). Other notable works include “A Crystal Age” (1887) and “Far Away and Long Ago” (1918), which has since been adapted into a film. Contents include: “Fam. I. TURDIDÆ, or THRUSHES”, “Fam. II. CINCLIDÆ, or DIPPERS”, “Fam. III. MUSCICAPIDÆ, or FLYCATCHERS”, “Fam. IV. TROGLODYTIDÆ, or WRENS”, “Fam. V. MOTACILLIDÆ, or WAGTAILS”, “Fam. VI. MNIOTILTIDÆ, or WOOD-SINGERS”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Excerpt from Birds of La Plata The matter contained in this work is taken from the two volumes of the Argentine Ornithology published in 1888-9, and was my first book on the subject of bird life. The late Philip Lutley Sclater, who was at that time the chief authority in this country on South American Ornithology, collaborated with me in the work to the extent of arranging the material in accordance with the most popular system of classification, and also adding descriptions, synonymy, etc., of the species unknown to me. All this matter which he contributed in order to make the work a complete list, I have thrown out, along with the synonymy of the species described by me. And there was good reason for this simplification, seeing that we cannot have a complete list owing to the fact that fresh species are continually being added to it by the collectors; these species, new to the list, being mostly intruders or visitors found on the subtropical northern limits of the country. The original work Argentine Ornithology) was thus out of date as soon as published, and the only interest it still retains for the reader is in the account of the birds habits contributed by me.
