Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Guide to the Summer Birds of the Bear Mountain and Harriman Park Sections of the Palisades Interstate Park
General Remarks. As the representative of The New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse, and acting through the courtesy of the Commissioners Of the Palisades Interstate Park, it was my privilege to study the bird life of the Palisades Interstate Park, particularly the Bear Mountain and Harriman Park regions, from May 27 to August 8, 1918. The purpose Of this study was to Obtain such general information regarding the birds as might serve for a basis for a popular preliminary report designed to aid beginners to form acquaintance with the common birds of the region; also, to make such Observations as might be Of value for a publication of more technical character concerning the relation of birds to the forests of the Palisades Interstate Park. Owing to the extent Of the Park domain and its lack of continuity, it was deemed advisable to confine the available time in the season of 1918 to limited centers of Observation. Therefore two locations were selected, - Bear Mountain, and Little Long Pond of the Kanah wauke Lake group, - as typical of the main unit including the Bear Mountain locality and the Harriman Park region.
