"Histoire naturelle des oiseaux d'Afrique, t. 1" by François Le Vaillant is a scientific publication written in the late 18th century. The work explores the various species of birds native to Africa, offering detailed descriptions and illustrations to contribute to ornithological knowledge. Likely motivated by personal travels and encounters with these birds, the author aims to document the unique characteristics and behaviors of these avian species. At the start of the book, the author expresses a mix of pride and frustration regarding his contributions to the field of ornithology, recounting his extensive travel and laborious collection of bird specimens over the past decade. The opening also includes a dedication and a preface reflecting on the challenges he faced in the pursuit of scientific recognition. He then begins describing various raptors, such as the Griffard, detailing their physical attributes, habits, and hunting techniques, while emphasizing the intricate relationships they maintain within their ecosystems. Le Vaillant's narrative sets the stage for a comprehensive study of African birds, as he seeks to provide a richer understanding of their natural history and significance.
