In 1910 and 1914, a two-volume study of New York's native birds was issued as part of the State Museum's annual report. A vast catalog of hundreds of species, the survey was illustrated by Louis Agassiz Fuertes (1874-1927), a rising star in scientific bird studies. Fuertes was highly influenced by John James Audubon's The Birds of America, and today he ranks second only to Audubon in terms of output and recognition for ornithological illustration. A frequent lecturer at Cornell University, he honed his expertise during numerous scientific expeditions throughout the United States and abroad, collaborating with Frank Chapman of the American Museum of Natural History on field research, museum dioramas, and book illustrations. This reproduction of all 106 of Fuertes's stunning full-color images spotlights more than 300 birds. It marks the first time that the artwork from Birds of New York has been available in decades, and the volume has never been so affordable. The captions have been reset for easy identification, and a complete Index offers a quick reference. Noted Fuertes expert Robert McCracken Peck provides an informative Foreword. Bird watchers at all levels of experience as well as illustrators, artists, and naturalists will find this book an excellent resource.

This special re-print edition of Louis Agassiz Fuertes' "Falconry, The Sport of Kings" has not been available to falconers and those interested in birds of prey since its original publication in the December 1920 issue of National Geographic Magazine. Falconry, The Sport of Kings will shed considerable light on the history of the management of hawks and falcons for the sport of falconry around the world. Lavishly illustrated with rare paintings and photos of falcons and hawks, as well as equipment related to falconry and hawking. In our opinion, this is one of the most important works that was published on falconry during the early 20th century.

These collected letters were written by Louis Agassiz Fuertes, one of the most well-known bird artists, to ornithologist and bird illustrator George Miksch Sutton when Sutton was still a boy struggling to learn the art of bird painting. Written between 1915 and 1927, the letters are filled with Fuertes' observations of bird behaviour, descriptions of his bird study and painting techniques, and advice on how to paint lifelike avian images and make one's way in the rapidly changing birding world-all at a time when birding was becoming less an exclusive activity for scientists and more a popular hobby for the general public.
