BIRD-LORE 



Vol. II. Begins 

 Feb. I, J 900. 



A BI=monthly flagazine Devoted to the Study and Protection of Birds. 



"The bonniest little Magazine ever put together on the subject." 



Edited by FRANK M. CHAPMAN. 



OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE AUDDBON SOCIETIES. 



Audubon Department Edited by MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT. 



NEARLY EVERY prominent American writer on birds in nature writes for BIRD-LORE, 

 among its contributors being John Bukkough.s, Dk, Henry van Dyke, Bradford Tokrey, 

 OuvE Thorne Miller, Fi^orence a. Merkiam, Annie TrumbulIv Slosson, Edith M. 

 Thomas, J. A. Ai,i.en, Wii.i.iam Brewster, R. Kearton, Robert Ridgway, Ernest 

 Seton Thompson, and many others. 



In addition to general descriptive articles, fresh from the fields, BIRD LORE has de- 

 partments " For Teachers and Students," wherein are given useful hints in bird-study, and 

 "For Young Observers," designed to develop the love for birds inherent in all children. 

 These, with reviews of current ornithological literature, editorials, and reports of the work 

 of the Audubon Societies, make a magazine which no bird lover can do without. 



NOT LESS delightful and entertaining than the text will be BIRD LORE'S illustrations. 

 They are not made from stuffed specimens or even drawings, but from actual photographs 

 of the birds in their haunts showing them at rest or in motion, brooding their eggs, or feed- 

 ing their young; in fact, the best possible substitutes for the birds themselves. 



Among many interesting and valuable features for 1900 will be a series of papers on 

 methods of teaching ornithology by instructors who have made a specialty of this branch 

 of nature-study, and there will be established an Advisory Council, designed to place stu- 

 dents in direct communication with an authority on the birds of their region, composed of 

 over SOprominent ornithologists, residing throughout the United States and Canada, who 

 have consented to respond to requests for information and advice.
