A BIRD BOOK 



FOR TEACHERS 



2?trb=llife 



By FRANK M. CHAPMAN 



Is especially adapted to the use of teachers. There 

 are 75 full-page colored plates figuring 1 00 common 

 birds. The Biographies are so arranged that they 

 may be used in supplemental reading. The Intro- 

 ductory Chapters treat of the bird's place in nature 

 and its relations to man, including its esthetic and 

 economic value; the wings, tail, bill, and feet of birds 

 and their uses, the colors of birds and what they mean, 

 bird migration, the voice of birds, birds' nests and eggs. 



An Appendix throws all this matter into the form 

 of lessons, reviews the bird-life of a year, tells of the 

 more interesting events of each month, and gives lists 

 of the birds which may be looked for at certain seasons. 



There is a Field Key, 'local lists* for various places, 

 and an outline of classification for those w^ho w^ant it.
