Birds -- Maine

The collection contains 51 card boxes of field reports of bird sightings in Maine from the early 1950s through the early 1970s. The cards are arranged in the order that birds are listed in the Check-List of North American Birds prepared by the Committee on Classification and Nomenclature of the American Ornithologists' Union. Each card lists the bird species, the number of birds observed, the name of the observer or reporter, and the town, county and date of observation.

The correspondence, notes, articles, scientific papers, and other papers of Arthur Norton concerning birds, mammals, botany, and the natural history of Maine. Includes the card file catalogue used in "Maine Birds."

Diary kept by Spinney of his bird sightings in Maine. The volume also has newspaper clippings about Spinney and the Maine Ornithological Society pasted in the first few pages.
