    Biographical history

    Percy Algernon Taverner was an architect and ornithologist born 10 June 1875 in Guelph, Ontario. He was a pioneer of bird-banding and initiated the first co-operative banding scheme in North America. From 1911 to 1942 he worked for the National Museum of Canada and its predecessors and served as the Dominion Ornithologist. He published prolifically in scientific journals and the popular press. His notable publication was "Birds of Canada" published in 1934. He was involved in the creation of Point Pelee National Park and Bonaventure Island Bird Sanctuary. He served as president of the Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club. He died 9 May 1947 in Ottawa.
