THE 
MAN 
of 
THE 
FOREST 
By 
ZANE GREY 
Here is a book for the out- 
door months. It has a message 
on every page- — of life lived 
gloriously in the open, of ad- 
venture, of daring, of romance, 
of the wonder of forest and 
mountain. When the glare of 
sun on the water, or on the 
roads, drives you into the shade 
and quiet, take THE MAN OF 
THE FOREST with you and 
let Zane Grey, the master writer 
of the Western story, transport 
you to the cool and glory of 
the Arizona mountains, in this 
romantic novel of a hidden 
Paradise and how a man and 
a woman found love together 
in the shadow of its circling 
mountains and the deeper 
shadow of the danger that 
lurked behind them.

SOME MORE NOTES 
ON SHORE-BIRDS 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 443) 
the edges of pools. Passing north in 
spring near the beginning of its breed- 
ing season, its belly is more or less black, 
its back of a bright fox-red color. Re- 
turning in fall, it is the last of its kind 
to arrive from the north, and unlike most, 
which when with us are in more or less 
mixed plumage, it has all its fresh fall 
feathers, lead-gray above, white below. 
Very occasionally one sees dunlin even 
into the winter. These gray-backed birds 
are known to bay-men as lead-backs or 
winter snipe. 
A fair number of this species are pres- 
ent on our shores spring and fall, but 
they pass through rapidly and may read- 
ily be overlooked. They are sluggish and 
generally silent on the ground. Their 
flight note is recognizable, an emphatic 
reedy “chu”, and they show considerable 
white in the wing, though not enough to 
confuse them with the lighter-colored 
sanderling. 
The European race of the dunlin, 
which has occurred on our coast as an 
accidental stray, is the most abundant 
sandpiper about the British Isles. 
XXIII. Rare Species on Long Island 
L ONG ISLAND, with its strip of 
meadows, bay and sand extending 
along the south or ocean side, is a 
very favorable locality for shore-birds, 
and many rare species and stragglers 
from foreign lands have been recorded 
there. 
Among these is the American avocet 
from west of the Mississippi River, as 
large as a small heron, with upturned 
bill, reddish-brown head and neck and 
pied black and white upper parts. Then 
there is 'the black-necked stilt, a western 
and tropical bird, a little smaller and 
much more slender with very long neck 
and legs, black and white in color. Also 
there is the oyster-catcher, not uncom- 
mon from Virginia southward, frequent- 
ing outer beaches and bars where it 
feeds on shellfish. It is a stout bird with 
vertically flattened bill, head, neck and 
breast black, upper parts pied dark and 
white, under parts white. 
The two American godwits were prob- 
ably more numerous here in early days 
than they are at present. The big brown 
marbled godwit (sometimes called red 
or brown marlin), which nests in the 
interior of the country, formerly occurred 
in numbers further south on the Atlantic 
coast, and has been much reduced over 
its breeding range as a whole. It is still 
a common migrant on the Pacific coast, 
both godwits have the long bill bent up- 
ward, the marbled godwit more distinctly 
so than the decidedly smaller Hudsonian 
godwit or ring-tailed marlin. This lat- 
ter bird is a far northern breeder and 
winters south to southern South Amer- 
ica. A few probably occur on Long 
Island almost every southward migra- 
tion and at times there are flights when 
a number of birds are recorded. Fall 
adult, and young birds are gray, the tail 
black with a white base. They are long- 
er, slenderer-billed birds than the w filet.
