 LAND BIRDS 



"Land Birds" is an illustrated pocket guide to the song 

 and insectivorous birds of eastern United States and Canada. 

 It contains one half of the birds in the present volume, com- 

 mencing with the Carolina Paroquet and ending with the 

 Bluebird. The colored illustrations are the same as those 

 shown here but the text is abbreviated because of the smaller 

 pages, which are just postcard size, very convenient to fit the 

 pocket and especially designed to take into the field and iden- 

 tify birds as they are seen on your rambles. 



The first edition of "Land Birds" was printed in 1906, and 

 since then reprints have been made about every six months. 

 In igog the book was revised and new colored plates made, 

 the same as the present ones. Over 300,000 copies of "Land 

 Birds" have now been printed and sold, many times more 

 than any other book on the subject. Surely this enor- 

 mous sale must stand for unusual merit and value in the 

 book. 



We suggest that, in order to avoid soiling copies of "Birds 

 of Eastern North America" by carrying them into the field, 

 owners provide themselves with copies of this smaller book 

 for their out-of-door work.
