Description
Excerpt from Life Histories of North American Jays, Crows, and Titmice: Order Passeriformes
The same general plan has been followed, as explained in previous bulletins, and the same sources of information have been utilized. The nomenclature of the 1931 check-list of the American Ornithologists'' Union and supplements has been followed.
An attempt has been made to give as full a life history as possible of the best - known subspecies of each species and to avoid duplication by writing brie?y of the others and giving only the characters of the subspecies, its range, and any habits peculiar to it. In many cases certain habits, probably common to the species as a whole, have been recorded for only one subspecies. Such habits are mentioned under the subspecies on which the observations were made. The distribution gives the range of the species as a whole, with only rough outlines of the ranges of the subspecies, which in many cases cannot be accurately defined.
