Abstract

An annotated bibliography of early Wise County ornithology is presented along with biographical information for Anna Houts, John Donald, Will Miller, Jr., and R. L. More. Anna Houts participated during 1884 in W. W. Cooke's study of bird migration. Additional county records were contributed by John Donald during 1889 to the Division of Economic Ornithology. The journals in which Donald, Miller, and More published their observations were soon discontinued and their work was further diminished by a failure to complete their twice-begun list of Wise County birds. Confirmation of some of the more interesting records of these pioneer observers has been hindered by the lack of, or inability to locate, voucher specimens or other supporting data.
