Birds of Eastern North America 



BY CHESTER A, REED. S. B. 



Author of •"Land Birds."' "Water Birds.*" "North American 

 Birds' Eggs," "Color Key to North American Birds with 

 Frank M. Chapman), etc. 



This will undoubtedly be THE BIRD BOOK of the year. 

 Nothing has aver approached "Land Birds' .r Water Birds 

 as guides for the identification of birds. It is doubtful if any 

 book will for many, many years appear, which is Lhe equal 

 of the present one in value and completeness :: text and illus- 

 trations and at anywhere near as low a price. 



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 ': eing able to write about these things 

 in an interesting and instructive manner, he is classed as one 

 of the foremost bird artists in America. This rare combina- 

 tion of Artist-Author-Naturalist has produced, in "Birds :: 

 Eastern North America.'"' the ultimate bird book. 



The technical descriptions aided by the pictures give per- 

 fect ideas of the plumages of adults and young. 



The descriptive text gives the important and characteris- 

 tic features in the lives of the various species. 



The illnstrations,— well, there are 408 PICTURES IN 

 NATURAE COLORS: they show practically every species in- 

 cluding male, female and young when the plumages differ. 

 and they are perfectly made by the best process. No other 

 one bird book ever had anywhere near as many accurately 

 colored pictures. 



Bound in cloth, handsomely illuminated in gold: 464 pages 

 (4%x6%); 40S colored illustrations: every bird described 

 and pictured.
