Oology and Ralph's Talking Eggs: Bird Conservation Comes Out of Its Shell (Mildred Wyatt-Wold Series in Ornithology)
Before modern binoculars and cameras made it possible to observe birds closely in the wild, many people collected eggs as a way of learning about birds. Serious collectors called their avocation "oology" and kept meticulous records for each set of eggs: the bird's name, the species reference number, the quantity of eggs in the clutch, the date and location where the eggs were collected, and the collector's name. These documented egg collections, which typically date from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, now provide an important baseline from which to measure changes in the numbers, distribution, and nesting patterns of many species of birds. In Oology and Ralph's Talking Eggs, Carrol L. Henderson uses the vast egg collection of Ralph Handsaker, an Iowa farmer, as the starting point for a fascinating account of oology and its role in the origins of modern birdwatching, scientific ornithology, and bird conservation in North America. Henderson describes Handsaker's and other oologists' collecting activities, which included not only gathering bird eggs in the wild but also trading and purchasing eggs from collectors around the world. Henderson then spotlights sixty of the nearly five hundred bird species represented in the Handsaker collection, using them to tell the story of how birds such as the Snowy Egret, Greater Prairie Chicken, Atlantic Puffin, and Wood Duck have fared over the past hundred years or so since their eggs were gathered. Photos of the eggs and historical drawings and photos of the birds illustrate each species account. Henderson also links these bird histories to major milestones in bird conservation and bird protection laws in North America from 1875 to the present. .

The World Market for Fresh, Preserved, or Cooked Birds' Eggs in Shells: A 2009 Global Trade Perspective
This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?.

The World Market for Fresh, Preserved, or Cooked Birds' Eggs in Shells: A 2006 Global Trade Perspective
This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing the regional markets for imported and exported fresh, preserved, or cooked birds' eggs in shells. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics,....
