CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR SUGGESTIONS 



To Bird Lovers: 



The Massachusetts Audubon Society is ready this year as in previous years to help with your Christmas shopping. 

 We will gladly take all responsibility of enclosing cards and forwarding material to addresses given in time for Christmas 

 or we will send direct to you. 



Novel and desirable gifts are birdhouses, bird books, leaflets, charts, calendars, etc. and we have here a varied stock. 

 We especially recommend the following: 



The Four Audubon Charts, $2.50 each. 



Illustrated circular enclosed. These charts may be purchased separately or in sets of four. 



The Audubon Calendar for 1929, $2.00 each. 



So popular was the calendar for 1928 that we have again received permission from the Massachusetts Department 

 of Agriculture to reprint from the first volume of "Birds of Massachusetts" by Edward Howe Forbush, six beautiful 

 colored plates painted by the late Louis Agassiz Fuertes and the valuable descriptive text by Mr. Forbush. The birds 

 pictured are: Horned Grebe, Pied-billed Grebe, ITolboell's Grebe — Black Guillemot, Puffin, Razor-billed Auk, Dovekie, 

 Brunnich's Murre — Herring Gull, Ring-billed Gull, Sabine's Gull, Bonaparte's Gull, Laughing Gull — Arctic Tern, Roseate 

 Tern, Forster's Tern, Common Tern, Black Tern, Least Tern — Great Blue Heron, American Egret, Black-crowned Night 

 Heron, Snowy Egret, Little Blue Heron — Great Black-backed Gull, Glaucous Gull, Kittiwake, Kumlien's Gull, Iceland Gull. 



Bird Glasses. 



Mirakel — 5 Power, $25.00; 7 Power, $35.00. These glasses are widely known and universally admired, endorsed 

 by world-famous travellers and ornithologists. 



Ruka — 3 Power, $10.00, central focussing, good lighting, large field. 

 Stadium — 4 Power, $16.00, central focussing, good lighting, large field. 



The Ruka and Stadium are two glasses we believe to be just what the ordinary bird watcher ought to have. 

 Bird Books. 



Here are some brand-new books and also one or two older ones which we especially recommend as Christmas gifts 

 to anyone interested in birds. 



British Birds, by Thorburn. 4 volumes, $24.00. 



A Sportsman's Scrap-Book, by Dr. John C. Phillips. $5.00. 



Tracks and Trails, by Leonard Rossell. $1.25. 



Birds of the Ocean, by W. B. Alexander. $3.5 0. 



Tield Book of Birds of the Panama Canal Zone, by Bertha B. Sturgis. $3.50. 

 The Burgess Bird Book for Children, by Thornton W. Burgess. $3.00. 

 Birds of the Pacific States, by Ralph Hoffman. $5.00. 



These and many other bird and nature books may be seen and bought through our office here. 



The profit on all sales goes to the Audubon Society, thus making a Christmas gift to the birds and at the same time 

 helping to fill out your Christmas list. Call in and see our display of birdhouses, any of which we can furnish.
