| Summary | "A History of North American Birds; Land Birds; Vol. 3 of 3" by S. F. Baird, T. M. Brewer, and R. Ridgway is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on various families of birds, specifically those classified as land birds, providing detailed descriptions and classifications of their characteristics and behaviors. The likely topic of the book is the systematic study and identification of North American birds, particularly emphasizing their anatomy, habitats, and geographical distributions. The opening of the text introduces the category of birds known as the Raptores, or birds of prey, including owls, hawks, and vultures. It discusses their classification, structural features, and the importance of systematic classification, drawing on contributions from renowned ornithologists. The segment explains the general characteristics and classifications of owls as the first family within the raptors, outlining their features, global distribution, and distinctions among various genera and species, laying the groundwork for a more comprehensive understanding of North American bird life.
