AFTERWORD 



Audubon Societies, the spreading of knowledge by means 

 of bird-books, illustrated bird-lectures, and the invalu- 

 able bulletins easily obtainable at the Government Print- 

 ing Office, Washington; the erection of bird-houses and 

 baths, and of feeding-tables for the winter; the furthering 

 of wise legislation regarding bird-protection and the sup- 

 plying of bird-wardens in some localities to help carry out 

 the laws; intelligent and humane regulations to prevent the 

 depredations of cats; the creation, wherever possible, of 

 bird-sanctuaries and preserves, and the planting of trees 

 and shrubs which will attract birds are a few of the ways 

 in which we may make practical our interest in birds and 

 add to the well-being of our land.
