Vernon Bailey - Field notes, Wyoming and Utah, May 16-July 3, 1890

By mid-May 1890, Vernon Bailey made it to the eastern edge of Wyoming in his three-month trip from Minneapolis to northeastern Utah. Chief Field Naturalist of the United States Department of Agriculture, Bailey is best known for his work in the western regions of the U.S. In this pocket-sized field book, he continues documenting his specimen collecting and observation work. Specimen numbers, their sex, cubic measurements and, occasionally, notes on bird behavior during certain times of day. Do you take time to make notes about flora or fauna as you travel? Maybe you could help us and other digital volunteers make short work of this 22 page field book.
