BIRD NEIGHBORS. An Introductory Acquaintance with 150 Birds Commonly Found
in the Woods, Fields and Gardens About Our Homes. By Neltje Blanchan. With
an Introduction by John Burroughs, and many plates of birds in natural
colors. Large Quarto, size 7-3/4 x 10-3/8, Cloth. Formerly published at
$2.00. Our special price, $1.00.
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.
