THE1 08PRRY, 



An Illustrated Monthly Magazine of 



Popular Ornithology- 

 Edited by Theodore Gill, in Co-op- 

 eration with Robert Ridgway, L.

The Osprey does not keep a poet, 

 but it has an office cat who can catch 

 more birds than all the poets put to- 

 gether. If you don't believe this, read 

 The Osprey. If you want to buy, sell 

 or exchange specimens, advertise in 

 The Osprey. If you want to keep in 

 with other Bird Men, subscribe for The 

 Osprey. If you want to write about 

 Birds, you can do it in The Osprey, 

 provided you know how to write. If 

 you like a beautifully printed and pro- 

 fusely illustrated magazine, all about 

 Birds you must have The Osprey.
