This section is from the book "Bird Guide: Water Birds, Game Birds And Birds Of Prey East Of The Rockies", by Chester A. Reed. Also available from Amazon: The Bird Book.
By Chester A. Reed, B. S.
This is the only book on the market that gives illustrations of the eggs of North American birds. Each egg is shown full size, photographed directly from an authentic and well marked specimen.
In addition to the illustrations of eggs, there are a great many full-page plates of nests and eggs in their natural situations.
In preparing this work, the author had access to the largest and best private and public museums. It is very complete and reliable in every respect. The habitat, breeding range and nesting habits of each bird are given, together with the marginal sketches that embellish the pages; this gives the reader an accurate idea of each bird.
It is finely printed on the best of paper and handsomely bound in cloth. 350 pages - 6 x 9 inches. $2.50, postage 20c.

Guide to Taxidermy teaches this art thoroughly. The courses have been enlarged, revised and Completely Illustrated.
You can easily learn to mount birds, animals, heads, fish, reptiles, etc. at little expense. You can save specimens that would otherwise be lost to the world, and you can make money by doing work for sportsmen. If you are interested in this, or wish to be, send at once for our free prospectus.
Field Glasses for Bird Study or equally good for the mountain, sea shore or theatre, or wherever 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. With carrying case and strap. Price only $5.00 postpaid.
