 BIRD-LORE'S Motto; A I'lrd-in the Bush is Worth Two in ihe Hand 



F YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BIRDS YOU WILL BE INTERESTED 



IN ** BIRD-LORE*'* Its pages are filled with descriptions of experiences with 

 Inrds in field and forest Irom the pens of writers who have won world-wide fame 

 as literary naturalists. Among the contributors to Bird-Lore are 



John Burroughs Ernest Thompson Seton J. A. Allen 



Dr. Heni^y van Dyke Olive Thorne Miller William Brewster 



Bradford Torrey P'lorence Merriam Bailey Robert Ridgway 



and numerous other writers known both for their powers of observation and des- 

 cription. 



In addition to general descriptive articles, Bird-Lore has departments "For 

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

 Young Observers, " designed -to develop the love of birds inherent in all children. 

 These, with reviews of current ornithological literature, editorials, teachers' leaflets, 

 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 are Bird-Lores illustra- 

 tions, w^ich include actual photographs of the birds in their haunts, showing them 

 at rest and in motion, brooding their eggs, or feeding their young, as well as 

 drawings. A f.'iture of the coming year will be a series of plates by Bruce Horsfall 

 accurately illustrating 



THE WARBLERS IN COLOR 



with figures of the male, female, and young (when their plumages differ) of every 

 North American member of this fascinating family. 



The text accompanying these beautiful pictures will be by Professor W. W. 

 Cooke, from data in the possession of the Biological Survey at Washington, and will 

 give the times of arrival and depairture of the Warblers from hundreds of localities 

 throughout their ranges.
