IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BIRDS YOU WILL BE INTERESTED 

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

 birds 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 Blrroughs Ernest Thompson Seton J. A. Allen 



Dr. Henry van Dyke Olive Thorne Miller William Brewster 



Bradford Torrey Florence 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 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, teacher's 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 arc Bird-Lore's illustra- 

 tions, which 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 feature of the coming year will be a series of plates by Bruce Horsfall 

 and Louis Agassiz Fuertes, accurately illustrating 



THE warblers IN COLOR 



y 



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 departure of the Warblers from hundreds of localities 

 throughout their ranges.
