Welcomed by Critic and Bird-Lover 



DR. CHAPMAN'S NEW BOOK 



"What Bird Is That?" 



A Pocket Museum of the Land-Birds of the Eastern United States, 



arranged according to season and described by Frank M. Chapman, 



with 301 figures in color by Edmund J. Sawyer 



Founded on a system which Dr. Chapman originated in the American 

 Museum of Natural History, this book will be welcomed by field 

 students as an eflPective and simple aid to naming birds in nature. The 

 birds are arranged as they are in the Museum cases. Beginning in 

 winter, there are first the Permanent Residents, or those species which, 

 like the Crow, are here all the year; with them are the Winter Visitants, 

 or those that come from the North in the fall and remain until spring, 

 the whole forming a complete collection of our common winter land- 

 birds. Two of these winter-bird collections are shown — one for the 

 northern, and one for the southern states. Then are added the Migrants 

 of March, April, and May in the order of their arrival
