" Her studies have been made in the vicinity of Chicago, and she 

 has evidently had unusually good opportunities to observe certain 

 species — opportunities of which she has availed herself so effec- 

 tively that her book contains uiuch that is novel." — lilnl-Lore^ 

 New York. 



" The numerous illustrations of nests and nestlings add greatly 

 to the realism of her graphically related experiences in the field, 

 and combine with the text to render her book especially attractive 

 as a popular contribution to the life history of some of our com- 

 moner birds." - The Auk, New York. 



" Mrs. Wheelock would seem to have the magic touch in taming 

 the shyest and rarest. She has a host of incidents at command 

 and illustrates her pleasant narrative with many illustrations direi-t 

 from natiare. The volume is a delightful addition to the library of 

 the l)ir(l student and l.tver." r/,i/,nh//,/ii„ r„f>/ir L,;l,„ r.
