Florence Merriam Bailey was a female field ornithologist working in New Mexico at a time when women were not permitted to vote, wear pants, or ride horseback astride. Bailey, however, spent many seasons in the field in the early 1900s cataloguing species for the US Biological Survey. She wrote eight published books under her own name, including the first popular guide to bird watching, Birds Through an Opera Glass (1889) and the comprehensive, Birds of New Mexico (1928).
