COLOR-GUIDE 



The following color-guide is intended to help in identifying birds. To use it, scan 

 tbe left column until a beading is found that indicates a color corresponding to the most 

 noticeable marking of tbe bird whose name is desired. If, under this beading, there 

 stand sub-headings, see if tbe unknown bird has peculiarities mentioned in one of these. 

 Tbe comparisons having been accurately made, tbe reader may feel reasonably sure that 

 he has reached tbe 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.
