Baron Christoph Feldegg (1780–1845) was an Austrian army officer and naturalist. Feldegg fought in the Napoleonic wars and in recognition of his many gallant deeds was created a Baron in 1817. He served in Dalmatia, eventually becoming Colonel and Commanding Officer of the 6th Battalion of Chaseurs. Feldegg accumulated a large collection of natural history specimens, particularly birds. He was a correspondent of C. L. Brehm, John Gould and Hermann Schlegel, and served for a time with the ornithologist Dr Karl Michahelles. His collection was donated to the Natural History Museum in Prague. Feldegg had a number of birds named after him, including the Black-headed Wagtail, ''Motacilla flava feldegg'', the Balkan and Black Sea sub-species of the Yellow Wagtail. ==References== * ''Biographies for Birdwatchers'', by Barbara and Richard Mearns 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christoph Feldegg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
