Summary "A Manual of Philippine Birds" by Richard C. McGregor is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This detailed work serves as a comprehensive guide to the bird species found in the Philippines, addressing a significant gap in the identification and description of the region's avifauna. The author aims to provide valuable information for naturalists, ornithologists, and enthusiasts interested in Philippine birds. The opening of the manual introduces the necessity for such a publication, as previous resources often lacked detailed descriptions necessary for proper identification. McGregor details his intent to provide descriptions for the numerous bird species in the Philippines, demonstrating the extensive effort put into the work by compiling data from various sources, including a substantial number of bird specimens collected over the years. The introductory sections outline the structure of the content, emphasizing a user-friendly approach to bird identification that avoids excessive technical jargon, making it accessible to local naturalists.
