BIRDS 



ILLUSTRATED BY COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY 



A MONTHLY SERIAL 



DESIGNED TO PROMOTE 



KNOWLEDGE OF BIRD-LIFE 



'With cheerful hop from perch to spray, 



They sport along the meads; 

 In social bliss together stray, 



Where love or fancy leads. 



Through spring's gay scenes each happy pair 



Their fluttering joys pursue; 

 Its various charms and produce share, 



Forever kind and true."
