Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides detailed observations on the diverse birdlife found in the Romblon, Sibuyan, and Cresta de Gallo Islands of the Philippines. It is the result of an expedition led by the author, Richard C. McGregor, and his Filipino assistants between 1904 and 1905. Through extensive field research, the author contributes valuable data on the taxonomy, distribution, and behaviors of nearly 120 bird species. Key discoveries include several species new to science, like the enchanting Lorionlus and an elusive screech owl from a genus previously unrecorded in Romblon Province. In addition to these novel findings, the book also sheds light on the distribution of other bird species within the region, enhancing our understanding of their geographic ranges and migration patterns. Overall, this volume serves as a valuable resource for ornithologists, bird enthusiasts, and those interested in the natural history of the Philippines.
