William Edwin Brooks William Edwin Brooks was a civil engineer in India and an ornithologist . He went to India in 1856 as a civil engineer with the railways and stayed on until 1881. After retirement he moved out of India and settled in Ontario, Canada . He was an honorary member of the British Ornithological Union . He corresponded with Alfred Russel Wallace , Thomas C. Jerdon and Robert Christopher Tytler . His vast collection of bird specimens is at the British Museum and during his career in India, he corresponded actively with other ornithologists in the region, notably Allan Octavian Hume . He also corresponded with ornithologists in Britain, including Henry Eeles Dresser , and sent many specimens to Dresser to distribute and trade with other ornithologists on his behalf. His third son Allan Brooks , named after Hume, became an ornithologist and artist of repute . He retired in 1881 and moved to Ontario . In 1887, Brooks moved his family from Milton, Ontario , to a new farm at Chilliwack, British Columbia . In 1891, he sold the Chilliwack property to return to Ontario where he bought a farm in Mount Forest . Brooks was admired by later workers for his careful observations and notes on the vocalizations of warblers. He was among the first to suggest that each species of warbler had a distinctive call.
