About the author
Born in 1849 near Bray, County Wicklow, he was an Irish naturalist, farmer, and land valuer who studied at Trinity College Dublin. He became especially known for his work on Irish birds and for helping organize large-scale observations of migration.
His best-known book, The Migration of Birds as Observed at Irish Lighthouses and Lightships, drew on reports gathered from lighthouse and lightship keepers around the coast. That project made him an important early contributor to the study of bird migration in Ireland.
He also wrote reports on the flora and natural history of places including Lough Ree, Lough Erne, Ben Bulben, Tory Island, and the Blaskets. He died in Dublin in 1915, leaving behind a body of work closely tied to the landscapes and wildlife of Ireland.
