Bailey - Field notes, Nevada and California, Nov - Dec, 1937
About the Project
Four years after his retirement as Chief Field Naturalist for the United States Department of Agriculture, Vernon Orlando Bailey was still traveling across the country studying birds and mammals in their natural habitats. This field book starts with a mention of traps he designed to capture animals unhurt for study and restocking that would be demonstrated at a meeting with the National [American] Humane Association. The rest of his field notes are dedicated to his trip to Nevada and California, a place he had first explored 48 years earlier. His notes capture so many details of the animal life and land, and the people he interacted with throughout the trip. Please join us as we transcribe these field notes and add them to body of online biodiversity research.
