COLOR-GUIDE 
The following color-guide is intended to help in identifying birds. To use itl, scan 
the left column until a heading is found that indicates a color corresponding to the most 
noticeable marking of the bird whose name is desired. If, under this heading, there 
stand sub-headings, see if the unknown bird has peculiarities mentioned in one of these. 
The comparisons having been accurately made, the reader may feel reasonably sure that 
he has reached the right name. Further confirmation may be sought from the descriptions 
in the body of the book, to which the figures in the right column refer.
