BIRD-LORE
COLORED PLATES ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
A BIRD BOOK
FOR TEACHERS
By FRANK M. CHAPMAN
is especially adapted to the use of teachers. There are 75 full-page colored plates figuring 100 common birds. The Biographies are so arranged that they may be used in supplemental reading. The Introductory Chapters treat of the bird’s place in nature and its relations to man, including its esthetic and economic value; the wings, tail, bill, and feet of birds and their uses, the colors of birds and what they mean, bird migration, the voice of birds, birds’ nests and eggs.
An Appendix throws all this matter into the form of lessons, reviews the bird-life of a year, tells of the more interesting events of each month, and gives lists of the birds which may be looked for at certain seasons.
There is a Field Key, ‘local lists’ for various places, and an outline of classification for those who want it.
