Bird Neighbors 



An Introductory Acquaintance with 1 50 Birds commonly found in 

 woods, fields and gardens about our homes. This book makes the 

 identification of our birds simple and positive, even for the un- 

 initiated, through certain unique features. 



What Mr. Burroughs says of the book : " When I began the study of birds I had access 

 to a copy of Audubon, which greatly stimulated my interest in the pursuit, but I did not 

 have the opera glass, and I could not take Audubon with me on my walks, as the reader may 

 this volume. He will find these colored plates quite as helpful as those of Audubon or Wilson."
