LAND BIRDS
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
An illustrated, pocket text book that enables anyone to quickly identify
any song or insectivorous bird found east of the Rocky Mountains. It
describes their habits and peculiarities; tells you where to look for
them and describes their nests, eggs and songs.
EVERY BIRD IS SHOWN IN COLOR, including the females and young where the
plumage differs, from watercolor drawings by the four-color process. The
illustrations are the BEST, the MOST ACCURATE, and the MOST VALUABLE
ever printed in a bird book.
"LAND BIRDS" is the most popular and has the LARGEST SALE (over 300,000
copies) of any bird book published in this country. It is used and
recommended by our leading ornithologists and teachers. 230 pages.

THE TREE GUIDE
By JULIA ELLEN ROGERS
Author of "The Tree Book"
The Tree Guide is uniform in style and size with the well known pocket
Bird Guides which have become so universally popular. It contains
illustrations (32 of them colored and many in black and white) and
descriptions of every tree east of the Rocky Mountains. The descriptions
include the range, the classification, the distinctive features such as
flowers, leaves, fruit, etc., and all other marks that lead to an easy
identification of the tree. No detail that will help the student has
been omitted and the small size of the volume, about the length and
width of the hand, makes it convenient to carry. An ideal volume for
expert naturalist or amateur for field work or even more exhaustive
study.

Nature Studies--In Field and Wood
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
This book is destined to be one of the most important that the author
has written. Absorbingly interesting in itself, yet its greatest value
will lie in the fact that it will lead the reader to realize how blind
he has been to the many wonderful things that are happening on every
hand.
The brook, the pond, the field, the woods, the swamps and even the back
yards yield quantities of very interesting subjects for study. This book
treats entertainingly of many of these interesting creatures, but its
chief aim is to be an "awakener"--to arouse within the reader the desire
to go out and verify some of the facts given, or to do some original
investigation himself. Such studies develop the senses of perception and
observation immensely, and the one who is "alive" to what is going on
about him surely is better able to cope with all situations in life than
one who sees nothing until it is forcibly brought to his attention.
112 pages; size--5½ × 7½ in. 40 illustrations in color, and black and
white.
60c. net; postage 10c.

Camera Studies of Wild Birds in Their Homes
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
"CAMERA STUDIES" affords everyone an opportunity for a very intimate
study of bird life. A good photograph of an event together with an
interesting description of it is the next best thing to witnessing the
event itself.
"CAMERA STUDIES" has 250 photographs of events right in birds' home.
These pictures are selected from the author's collection of over 2000
bird photographs, this being one of the best collections of pictures of
free, living wild birds in existence.
Many rare and interesting poses are faithfully shown by the camera. For
instance, a pair of adult Chipping Sparrows, standing on a branch by the
sides of their four young, are engaged in pulling apart a large worm
that was too large to be given whole.
The stories accompanying these pictures are as interesting as the
photographs and above all they are all actual facts.
300 pages, 5½ × 7½ in.; 250 photographs of living, wild birds.
Handsomely bound in Cloth, $2.00 net; postage 20c.

regions. EVERY BIRD IN NATURAL COLORS.
320 of them are faithfully pictured, and the text gives the more
prominent identifying features, as well as the habits, haunts and all
about their nests and eggs. 256 pages, bound and neatly boxed.
In Sock Cloth, $1.00 net; in Leather, $1.25 net; postage 5c.

FIELD GLASSES
[Illustration: 482.]
FOR BIRD STUDY
or equally good for the mountains, seashore or theatre, or whenever a
large, clear image of an object is desired.
We carefully examined more than a hundred makes of field glasses, to
select the ones best adapted for bird study.
We found one make that was superior to any other of the same price and
equal optically, and nearly as well made as those costing three times as
much.
They magnify about three diameters, and have an unusually large field of
vision or angle of view, making it easy to find a bird or keep him in
sight. Price only $5.00 postpaid.
