| Summary |
"Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club" is a quarterly journal of ornithology published in volume VII in the late 19th century, specifically in 1882. The publication features various ornithological studies and papers authored by notable figures in the field, such as Robert Ridgway and William Brewster, focusing on bird species, their behaviors, habitats, and regional observations. This journal serves as a repository of knowledge and findings related to birds for both amateur and professional ornithologists. The opening of the bulletin begins with an article by Robert Ridgway discussing a newly identified species of heron from Southwestern Florida, highlighting the observations made by Charles W. Ward concerning the heron’s social behavior, such as how they interact while feeding in flocks. Further, it reflects on the complexities of classifying these birds based on their coloration variations and specific characteristics, emphasizing the need for meticulous observation and study. The subsequent sections introduce observations from other contributors, detailing various bird species resembling a checklist of avian diversity across regions in North America, establishing the bulletin as an important documentation of ornithological science at the time.
