AMERICAN GAME BIRDS 



By CHESTER A REED, B. S. 



CERTAIN species and families of our wild birds are classed as game and can, 

 at certain seasons, be legally hunted for sport or for food. A great number 

 of books have been written for sportsmen and by sportsmen, most of them 

 containing but a very few black and white illustrations of some of the species men- 

 tioned. As far as we know, AMERICAN GAME BIRDS is the only sportsman's 

 book illustrating nearly all of these birds in NATURAL COLORS. With it, the 

 novice can identify any game bird he secures or sees, and the old-timer, as well, 

 can see just what sportsmen in other sections of the country are shooting. The 

 illustrations are excellent reproductions by the very best process from water-color 

 paintings made directly from the birds. 



The text portrays their habits just as truly as the pictures do their appearance, 

 and the two together give the reader a correct impression of each species, such as 

 can be gained in no other way except by long association with the birds. Mr. Reed 

 knows birds as few others do, and has hunted, studied and photographed them from 

 Labrador to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 



More than loo species illustrated in natural color3.
