Henry Eliot Howard

Henry Eliot Howard

Henry Eliot Howard (November 13, 1873 - December 26, 1940) was an English ornithologist, noted for being one of the first to describe territoriality behaviours in birds in a detailed manner.

Howard was born at Stone House near Kidderminster and studied at Stoke Poges and Eton. He showed from his earliest childhood an intense love of natural history. It was not until 1914 that his first work, "British Warblers", was published. Continually working on the theory of territory, he published "Territory in Bird Life", illustrated by George Edward Lodge and Henrik Grönvold, in 1920 (a reissue in 1948 had an introduction by Julian Huxley and James Fisher), followed by "An Introduction to the Study of Bird Behaviour", "Nature of a Bird's World" and lastly "A Waterhen's World", in 1940. His books were published under the name "Eliot Howard".

Although his home was always in Worcestershire, much of his time was spent on the wild coast of Donegal and in the west of Ireland shooting, fishing and studying natural history. He died at his home, Clareland, Stourport-on-Severn.
