Series 3. Nature Logs and Lists

Scope and content:

This series includes bird checklists, lists of bird sightings, and lists of plants in an area on various sizes of notebook paper. Other formats include charts on larger pieces of paper, on 3" X 5" index cards (Box 18), and on 4" X 6" index cards (Box 17). The "daily logs" primarily document bird sightings, as well as weather conditions, and more about nature from the following locations: Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, the United States, every county in West Virginia, and the Morgantown area including the Breiding property at Range Run, the WVU Core Arboretum, and the West Virginia Botanic Garden. Some of the lists were prepared for reporting to organizations and to publications such as Redstart. Breiding's bird records indicate a particular interest in warblers, specifically the Golden-Winged Warbler. The logs are mostly handwritten on small notebook paper. Content in this series is found throughout the collection.
