BIRD-LORE'S Motto; A Bird in the Bush is Worth Two in the Hand 
I F YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BIRDS YOU WILL BE INTERESTED 
IN “BIRD-LORE.” Its pages are filled with descriptions of experiences with 
birds in field and forest from the pens of writers who have won world-wide fame 
as literary naturalists. Among the contributors to Bird-Lore are 
John Burroughs Ernest Thompson Seton J. A. Allen 
I)r. Henry van Dyke Olive Thorne Miller William Brewster 
Bradford Torrey PYorence Merriam Bailey Robert Ridgway 
and numerous other writers known both for their powers of observation and des¬ 
cription. 
In addition to general descriptive articles, Bird-Lore has departments “For 
Teachers ami Students,’’ wherein are are given useful hints in bird-study, and “Por 
Young Observers, ’ designed to develop the love of birds inherent in all children. 
These, with reviews of current ornithological literature, editorials, teachers’ leaflets, 
and reports of the work of the Audubon Societies, make a magazine which no bird- 
lover can do without. 
Not less delightful and entertaining than the text are Bird-Lores illustra¬ 
tions, which include actual photographs of the birds in their haunts, showing them 
at rest and in motion, brooding their eggs, or feeding their young, as well as 
drawings. A feature of the coming year will be a series of plates by Bruce Horsfall 
accurately illustrating 
THE WARBLERS IN COLOR 
with figures of the male, female, and young (when their plumages differ) o|jLe very 
North American member of this fascinating family. N * 
The text accompanying these beautiful pictures will be by Pr< >£es?>br 
Cooke, from data in the possession of the Biological Survey at WasiyhO^toj^^nd^^P 
give the times of arrival and departure of the Warblers from 
throughout their ranges. ^ ,
