Birds of Eastern North America 



BY CHESTER A. REEDi S.B. 



THE BIRD BOOK of the year. It is authentic. The author KNOWS 

 birds. He has studied them for thirty years — in the hand, for plumage, 

 and in their haunts, for habits. He has studied them in their homes and has 

 photographed hundreds as they were actually feeding their young. Besides 

 being able to write about these things in an interesting and instructive man- 

 ner, he is classed as one of the foremost bird artists in America. This rare 

 combination of Artist-Author-Naturalist has produced, in "Birds of Eastern 

 North America," the ultimate bird book. 



The technical descriptions aided by the pictures give perfect ideas of the 

 plumages of adults and young. 



The descriptive text gives the important and characteristic features in the 

 lives of the various species. 



The illustrations— well, there are 408 PICTURES IN NATURAL 

 COLORS ; they show practically every species, including male, female and 

 young when the plumages differ, and they arc perfectly made by the best 

 process. No other one bird book ever had anjrwhere near as many ac- 

 curately colored pictures. 



Bound in cloth, handsomely illuminated in gold; 464 pages (4}^ x 6J^); 

 408 colored illustrations; every bird described and pictured.
