 more birds than all the poets put to- 

 gether. If you don't believe this, read

 pages in size. It controls the output of VVest- 

 ern material, and prints the most interesting 

 and valuable articles to be found in any "bird"

 for 1901, which will serve to make THE CON- 

 DOR a leader ! 



The March (1901) number is one of extreme 

 interest, containing among other things a 

 charming article on the nesting of the Golden 

 Eagle by R. H. Beck, illustrated with three full 

 page plates depicting nests in various rugged 

 situations Mr. E. H. Skinner contributes a
