Water Birds — Game Birds 
— Birds of Prey — In Colors 
By CHESTER A. REED 
Is a book written especially for 
sportsmen as a concise guide to 
the identification of water birds, 
game birds and birds of prey to 
be found in this country. 
About three hundred species of 
birds are faithfully depicted by 
the colored pictures, and the text 
gives considerable idea* of their habits and tells where 
found at different seasons of the year. 
These illustrations are reproduced from water-color paintings by the 
author, whose books on birds and flowers have had the largest .sale 
of any ever published in this country. They are made by the best 
known process by one of the very first engraving houses in the coun- 
try and the whole typography is such as is rarely seen in any book. 
The cover is a very attractive and unique one, a reproduction of 
leather with set-in pictures.

“Kinks” is full of good stuff — ideas furnished by true 
sportsmen. There are helpful hints for hunters, hikers, 
campers, fishermen and vacationists — new ways of saving 
time and money — simple stunts that every man ought to 
think out for himself — but doesn’t. It tells how to fix up 
emergency “rigs” when the “store stuff” fails or is left 
behind. And almost every “Kink” is illustrated so plainly 
that every picture makes your fingers fairly itch to try 
the stunt yourself.

Are You A Duck Shooter 
Do you love to stand in the bow of your 
skiff as it is pushed through the wild rice 
■and drop the ducks that get up within 
range; or, if you live by the big waters, 
do you enjoy sitting in the blind while 
cold winds blow and ice forms at the edge 
of the shore, watching the sky and waiting 
for something to come to your decoys? If 
you love these things, if you will bear 
work, exposure and hardship to get a shot, 
you need. 
American 
Duck Shooting 
By 
GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
It gives descriptions and portraits of all 
the ducks and geese known in North 
America; tells where they are found; the 
various methods practiced in shooting them; 
describes the guns, loads, clothing, boats 
and dogs employed in their pursuit, and 
generally is far and away the most com- 
plete, useful and entertaining volume on 
the subject that has ever been published. It 
covers the whole field of North American 
wild-fowl shooting. 
The book is profusely illustrated. Not 
only has it ornithologically exact portraits 
of 58 species of swans, geese and ducks, 
but it has eight half-tone reproductions of 
some of our best-known wild ducks from 
the paintings of the great naturalist, Audu- 
bon, a number of full-page sketches by 
Wilmot Townsend, whose drawings of wild- 
fowl are inimitable, many cuts of duck 
boats and batteries, and fifty vignettes in 
th" ;ext, which add to its beauty and its 
usefulness. It is a complete, illustrated 
manual of this fascinating sport. 
A new edition of this volume, containing 
added matter, was published July 1, 1918. 
The work is an essential part of every gun- 
ner’s library.
