Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot (May 10, 1748, Yvetot - 1831, Rouen) was a French ornithologist. Vieillot described a large number of birds for the first time, especially those he encountered during the time he spent in the West Indies and North America, and 26 genera established by him are still in use. He was one of the first ornithologists to study changes in plumage, and also one of the first to study live birds as well as skins. Vieillot was born in Yvetot. He was in business on the Caribbean island of San Domingo (Haiti), but was forced to flee to the United States during the French Revolution. During his time there he began studying the birds of the country, and collected material for his Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de l'Am rique Septentrionale (1808).
