BIRD IDENTIFICATION CHART 



(Note: The undersigned designed this chart several years ago for 

 use in Normal School classes, to direct observation of unknown birds 

 and to insure detailed field study of known birds. It has been used 

 successfully with bird-study classes in the upper grades of the elemen- 

 tary school, and is printed here as a suggestion to teachers in the 

 study of living wild birds. — Fred L. Charles).
