Gregory A. Wynn describes three lists of birds made by Theodore Roosevelt in 1877, 1879, and 1908. Wynn notes the rarity of these lists, and he remarks at how they demonstrate Roosevelt’s deep knowledge of birds, especially of their songs. Wynn provides the context for the assembling and publication of each list, and he highlights Roosevelt’s bird watching with Viscount Edward Grey in England in 1910 and the contributions made to Roosevelt scholarship by Paul Russell Cutright. The first page of each list appears in the essay along with a photograph of Wynn.
