Birds of Eastern North America 



BY CHESTER A. REED, S. B. 



Author of "Land Birds," "Water Birds," "North American Birds" 

 Eggs," "Color Key to North American Birds" (with Frank M. Chap- 

 man), etc. 



This will undoubtedly "be THE BIRD BOOK of the year. Nothing 

 has ever approached "Land Birds" or "Water Birds" as guides for 

 the identification of birds. It is doubtful if any book will for many, 

 many years appear, which is the equal of the present one in value 

 and completeness of text and illustrations and at anywhere near as 

 low a price. 



It is authentic. The author KNOWS birds. He has studied 

 them for thirty years, — in the hand, for plumage, and in their 

 haunts, for habits. He has studied them in their homes and has 

 photographed hundreds as they were actually feeding their young. 

 Besides being able to write about these things in an interesting and 

 instructive manner, he is classed as one of the foremost bird artists 

 in America. This rare combination of Artist-Author-Naturalist has 

 produced, in "Birds of Eastern North America," the ultimate bird 

 book. 



The technical descriptions aided by the pictures give perfect 

 yv'ideas of the plumages »of adults and young. 



The descriptive text gives the important and characteristic fea- 

 in the lives of the various species. 



The illustrations,— well, there are 408 PICTURES IN NATURAL 

 COLORS; they show practically every species including male, 

 female and young when the plumages differ, and they are perfectly 

 made by the best process. No other one bird book ever had any- 

 where near as many accurately colored pictures. 



Bound in cloth, handsomely illuminated in gold; 464 pages (4i^ 

 x6i/^); 408 colored illustrations; every bird described and pictured. 



$3.00 net; postage 15c.
