Birds of tbe Rockies 
iUitb i^heek Cist of Colorado Birds 
By Dr. Ceander S. Kcyser 
Author of “In Bird Land,” etc. This is the first work dealing 
distinct! vel}', with the birds of a most interesting section of our 
country. 
ini'. 3©bl1 BUfrougbS savss “This is the best bird book that has come to me in years." 
Cbc Outlook says: “This is a notable contribution to American bird-lore. Its peculiar interest 
lies in the fact that the author has chosen for his field of observation a locality where, in addition to the 
usual bird pilgrimages north and south, there is a migration up and down the mountains. Mr. Keyser 
records his observations with scientific accuracy, and describes his rambles over the plains, through the 
canyons, and up the dizzy heights with a freshness and charm that will be thoroughly enjoyable, to all 
nature-lovers." 
CbS Oiuaba B^S says: "it is not only beautifully printed, but is a valuable book for ornithologpstsi 
and will undoubtedly be sought by them eagerly, as it is the best and most thorough publication ever printed 
treating of birds and their habits in that section of the country.’’ 
Che Illustrations 
The illustrative features of the work are in keeping wdth 
its importance. Louis Agassiz Fuertes, already well known 
for his accurate and beautiful delineations of birds has 
furnished eight full-page plates, four in colors; while Bruce 
Horsfall, eminent in the more decorative feature of bird- 
illustration, has supplied more than thirty charming text 
pictures, which delight the eye and fix the fact in the mind. 
There are also many reproductions from photographs of 
localities frequented by certain species, thus adding to the 
practical utility of the work for the ornithologist. 
The work contains 355 pages, and a very complete Index. 
Price, put up in a box, $3.00 net; or $3.24 prepaid.
