Martin H. Moynihan - Diglossa (Flowerpiercers) (3 of 4)

About the Project

What might you find in one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world, the Andes mountain system? Plants and animals have adapted to the conditions that vary across the high plateaus and even higher mountains that run the length of South America's western coast. Scientist Martin H. Moynihan (1928-1996 ) made countless expeditions to study species around the world. This third volume of his genus Diglossa field notes covers his observations of species known commonly as flowerpiercers in the northwest Andes between 1965 and 1972. His entries are thorough and include sketches, notations of birdsong and a photography schedule. Still, not all the entries are chronological. Would you join other digital #volunpeers to transcribe this third volume of four and make his detailed studies easier for researchers, educators and everyone to use?
