“The first untechnical monograph on a single group of American birds,” including Gerald Thayer’s notes on songs and habits of birds.

“Its title would much better have been ‘The wood warblers of North America,’ for the true warblers, family Sylviidae, also represented in North America, are not treated at all.” Harry C. Oberholser.
