In the center of this number we have bound the sheet containing the 

 Red-breasted Nuthatch. By bending up the wire staples this may be 

 removed from this number and inserted in its proper place in the Feb. 

 number. 



On another advertising page, we make our offers for photos for the 

 coming season. We have mads three classes for prize photos and all 

 prints submitted will be judged without partiality. 



During the next three months more birds are to be seen than during 

 any other part of the year, and during these months a great many more 

 people are interested in observing. Will not you make special effort 

 to bring this magazine to the notice of your friends and acquaintances 

 during this period? It will be for your interest as well as for ours. 

 On one of the advertising pages we offer a number of inducements for 

 you to do so. The Chippy Family is still given to every subscriber 

 during 1903 and the companion piece, "Preparing Breakfast" will be 

 given to every subscriber sending us a new subscription.
