Birds of Lakeside and Prairie 



By EDWARD B. CLARK. 



16 Colored Plates. ReadJ- Nov. i. Price, |i. 



Orders received in advance of 



publication, 75 cents. 



THIS book will contain field sketches of 

 bird life in the great middle west. Mr. 

 Clark for years has been a close student 

 of nature in a section of the country where 

 wild bird observers have been many and bird 

 writers have been few. The author takes his 

 readers afield with him and puts them in 

 close touch with our feathered friends of lake- 

 side, woodland and prairie. The bird byways 

 of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, 

 and other great middle western states are 

 thoroughly explored. Mr. Clark is known to 

 the reading public through his many bird 

 articles which have appeared in the Chicago 

 Tribune, and in the different magazines of the 

 country. He is perhaps still more intimately 

 known to middle western readers by the arti- 

 cles from his pen which have appeared sev' 

 eral times a week on the editorial page of the 

 Chicago Times-Herald, now the Record-Her- 

 ald. The colored illustrations in "The Birds 

 of Lakeside and Prairie" will be from our col- 

 ored plates slightly reduced in size. Mr. 

 Clark's work is characterized by a fine liter- 

 ary style.
