  Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
In 1820 Vieillot undertook the continuation of the Tableau encyclopédique et méthodique, commenced by Pierre Joseph Bonnaterre in 1790.
Vieillot is commemorated in the binomials of a number of birds, such as Vieillot's Barbet Lybius vieilloti and the Puerto Rican Lizard Cuckoo Saurothera vieilloti.

Birds are bipedal, warm-blooded, egg-laying vertebrates characterized primarily by feathers, forelimbs modified as wings, and hollow bones.
It is estimated that 2-9 million people lived in the territory now occupied by the U.S. before European contact, and the subsequent introduction of foreign diseases such as small pox that greatly diminished the native populations.
Some advanced societies were the Anasazi of the southwest, who inhabited Chaco Canyon, and the Woodland Indians, who built Cahokia, located near present-day St Louis, a city with a population of 40,000 at its peak in AD 1200.

Louis XV now abandoned the invasion of the Southern Netherlands, and his army moved down to take a decisive part in the war in Alsace and Lorraine.
On the Rhine, Louis XV, now recovered, had besieged and taken Freiburg, after which the forces left in the north were reinforced and besieged the strong places of Southern Netherlands.
In effect, on 10 May, before Frederick took the field, Louis XV and Saxe had besieged Tournay, and inflicted upon the relieving army of the Duke of Cumberland the great defeat of Fontenoy.

 Red-cockaded Woodpecker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A “cockade” refers to a ribbon or other ornament, commonly worn on hats in the early 1800’s, when the term was first applied to this species by Alexander Wilson, describing the tiny red streak located on males behind the eye, near the ear.
Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot first identified this woodpecker in 1807, naming it “borealis”, or northern woodpecker, which was erroneous at that time.
New Jersey had represented the northern limit of their range, but by the early 1700’s, the combination of new settlements and timber harvesting had caused a drastic reduction of their ecosystem, limiting them to the southeastern states.

Generally though, emus prefer to play in water rather than cross it: if a stream or dam is available, they take full advantage of it on hot days, sometimes rolling on their backs and kicking their legs in the air.
In his original 1816 description of the emu, Vieillot used two generic names; first Dromiceius, then Dromaius a few pages later.
It has been a point of contention ever since which is correct; the latter is more correctly formed, but the convention in taxonomy is that the first name given stands, unless it is clearly a typographical error http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/Auk/v044n04/p0592-p0593.pdf.
