Summary "Nests and Eggs of Birds of the United States" by Thomas G. Gentry is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide detailed illustrations and descriptions of the nests and eggs of various bird species found within the United States. Through meticulous observation and careful attention to avian behavior, the author intends to enhance the reader's understanding of ornithology and bird nesting habits. At the start of the publication, Gentry expresses a long-held desire to create a comprehensive account of bird nests and eggs embellished with lifelike colors. He details the challenges he faced in gathering material and acknowledges the limitations of a one-volume treatment of such an expansive topic. The preface emphasizes a commitment to accuracy while also reflecting on the beauty and intricacy of bird life, particularly during the breeding season. Within the opening portion, he highlights the importance of observing bird habitats, behaviors, and the craftsmanship involved in nest building, alongside communicating with renowned ornithologists and referencing historical works to ensure a well-rounded perspective in his own observations.
