Pacific Coast Avifauna, Vol. 4: Birds of the Huachuca Mountains, Arizona (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Pacific Coast Avifauna, Vol. 4: Birds of the Huachuca Mountains, Arizona The Huachuca Mountains are a range which have been pretty thoroughly explored by investigators in various branches of natural history, but of which there has been but little published, at least of ornithological interest. A few scattered notes recording the occurrence of various rarities in that region, and some more or less carefully detailed accounts of the breeding habits of the most interesting and conspicuous species of birds inhabiting the mountains are about all that have appeared, but nothing of a general character; and as in the course of several seasons careful work in the mountains many interesting and surprising facts in distribution, migrations, etc., of various species were being continually encountered, which, while they may be familiar to the naturalists who have visited the range, are probably unknown to ornithologists in general, I have been induced to embody the results of my labors in the following pages. The list of residents and summer visitants I believe to be fairly complete, but as stray individuals of many surprising and more or less unexpected species have turned up in the region on various occasions it is but fair to suppose that additional species of this class will have to be added to this list in the future, and it is possible that there are some that I failed to meet with occurring regularly during the fall migration, of which I saw but very little. Though considerable work was done along the valley of the San Pedro River, but a few miles distant, and a number of birds found there not occurring in the Huach-ucas, I have preferred to limit my list to such species as occur in the mountains, or, ranging over the plains below, occasionally venture up into the mouths of the canyons; for a great variety of migrating water fowl undoubtedly occurs along the San Pedro River, both in the spring and fa 11, and these I had hardly any opportunity of observing, so

Product Description:
Excerpt from Pacific Coast Avifauna, Vol. 4: Birds of the Huachuca Mountains, Arizona
The Huachuca Mountains lie in the southeastern corner of Arizona, extending northwest and southeast, and with their southern extremity lying just over the Mexican boundary line. The range is a small one, about forty miles long, composed of a single ridge or back bone, which reaches its greatest height at about the middle of the range; where two peaks rise, one to an altitude of about feet, and the other a few hundred feet lower. On the eastern slope a number of broad, well watered canyons extend from the plains quite to the divide of the range, while smaller and shorter ones lie between. The western slope is steeper and more rugged, and the canyons are consequently shorter and not so well watered. The base of the mountains at Miller Canyon, about the center of the range lies at an altitude of about 4500 feet, and in this same canyon, where I did most of my collecting, the distance from the mouth of the canyon to the divide (9000 feet) is about six miles.
