Birds of Eastern North America
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
The Bird Book of the year. 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. Besides
being able to write about these things in an interesting and instructive
manner, he is classed as one of the foremost bird artists in America.
This rare combination of Artist-Author-Naturalist has produced, in
"Birds of Eastern North America," the ultimate bird book.
The technical descriptions aided by the pictures give perfect ideas of
the plumage 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.
Bound in cloth, handsomely illuminated in gold; 464 pages (4½ × 6½); 408
colored illustrations; every bird described and pictured.

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.
Bound in Cloth, 75c. net; in Leather, $1.00 net; postage 5c.
WATER BIRDS
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
This book is uniform in size and scope with LAND BIRDS. It includes all
of the Water Birds, Game Birds and Birds of Prey, east of the Rockies.
Each species is ILLUSTRATED IN COLOR from oil paintings; the bird, its
habits and nesting habits are described.
The pictures show more than 230 birds in color, every species found in
our range. They exceed in number those in any other bird book. In
quality they cannot be surpassed--exquisite gems, each with an
attractive background, typical of the habits of the species.
