About this book
The Avifauna of Micronesia, Its Origin, Evolution, and Distribution by Rollin H. Baker takes the origin, evolution and distribution of the region's birds as its subject. The bird list places ducks, geese and swans in Family Anatidae, within an order that includes those birds and their allies. The bird list includes the Amur Green Heron and Cattle Egret, with scientific names supplied beside their common names.
The account of kingfisher evolution derives the three races belonging to H. cinnamomina from H. chloris. The discussion identifies cinnamon colouring as the principal distinction between the species, while noting that some subspecies of H. chloris possess traces of that coloration.
