BIRDS OF EASTERN NORTH AMERICA 
By Chester A. Reed, S. B. 
It is doubtful if any book will for many, many years appear which is the equal 
of the present one in value and completeness of text and illustrations and at any¬ 
where near as low a price. 
It is authentic. The author KNOWS birds. He has studied them for thirty 
years—in the hand, for plumage, and in their haunts, for habits. He has studied 
them in their homes and has photographed hundreds as they were actually feeding 
their young. 
The technical descriptions, aided by the pictures, give perfect ideas of the plum¬ 
age of adults and young. 
The descriptive text gives the important and characteristic features in the lives 
of the various species. 
The illustrations—well, there are 408 PICTURES IN NATURAL COLORS; they 
show practically every species, including male, female and young when the plumages 
differ, and they are perfectly made by the best process. No other one bird book 
ever had anywhere near as many accurately colored pictures. 
Bound in cloth, handsomely illuminated in gold; 464 pages (4^4 x 6%) 408 
colored illustrations; every bird described and pictured. 
$3.00 net; postage 15c.
