As an aid to the elementary study of bird life nothing has ever
been published more satisfactory than this most successful of
Nature Books. This book makes the identification of our birds
simple and positive, even to the uninitiated, through certain
unique features. I. All the birds are grouped according to color,
in the belief that a bird's coloring is the first and often the
only characteristic noticed. II. By another classification, the
birds are grouped according to their season. III. All the popular
names by which a bird is known are given both in the descriptions
and the index. The colored plates are the most beautiful and
accurate ever given in a moderate-priced and popular book.
The most successful and widely sold Nature Book yet published.
BIRDS THAT HUNT AND ARE HUNTED. Life Histories of 170 Birds of Prey,
Game Birds and Water-Fowls. By Neltje Blanchan. With Introduction by G.
O. Shields (Coquina). 24 photographic illustrations in color. Large
Quarto, size 7-3/4 x 10-3/8. Formerly published at $2.00. Our special
price, $1.00.
No work of its class has ever been issued that contains so much
valuable information, presented with such felicity and charm. The
colored plates are true to nature. By their aid alone any bird
illustrated may be readily identified. Sportsmen will especially
relish the twenty-four color plates which show the more important
birds in characteristic poses. They are probably the most valuable
and artistic pictures of the kind available to-day.
