Index of Subjects I have my Birds of Eastern Canada (Tavernner, 1919) to hand... still a useful guide. Nice bio.. Thanks for sharing Rick Andrew ________________________________________ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] on behalf of Rick Whitman [dendroica.caerulescens@gmail.com] Sent: October-17-14 7:40 PM To: naturens Subject: [NatureNS] P. A. Taverner Biography The finding of a Brewer's Sparrow at Perce, PQ, thought to be the subspecies taverneri, and the reporting of this in the weekly ABA Rare Bird Alert, http://blog.aba.org/2014/10/rare-bird-alert-october-17-2014.html albeit mis-spelled, led Rick Wright to link to a charming biography of P. A. Taverner. Taverner seems to have been the first Dominion Ornithologist and I expect there are number of us that can remember his "Birds of Canada" (1934) with coloured plates. This copy of the 1948 article from The Auk would be a nice weekend read for some. https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/journals/auk/v065n01/p0085-p0106.pdf Rick Whitman
