H.G. Deignan - Field Catalog, Siam, 1935-37

Though Thailand is only approximately 198,000 square miles in total area, it is home to almost a thousand species of birds--many of which are rare or facing endangerment. Now more than ever, it is important that the work of ornithologists like Herbert G. Deignan are available to present-day researchers! Deignan--future curator of the US National Museum's Division of Birds--conducted extensive field work studying the native birds of Thailand throughout the late 1920s and 1930s. Help transcribe a piece of Deignan's decades-worth of important field work and make information about the endangered bird species of Thailand available for future ornithologists!
