Excerpt from Birds of Eastern North America This volume is in reality but an extension of, an enlarge ment upon and a combining of the' 'show me' 'properties of Bird Guide Land Birds and Bird Guide Water Birds. The kind reception and enormous sale of these smaller books have fully justified my belief that a good, ac curate illustration is worth pages oi text for conveying an idea of the appearance of a bird or for identifying one seen in the field. My schooling in this line was gained in the time when an occasional inaccurate woodcut served only to relieve the monotony of the solid pages of text. In those days the birds were collected and, with the specimen in hand, it required only time to discover what it was, from the pages of the old reliable Coues' Key. Birds were more plentiful then and bird students comparatively few. Obviously such methods are impossible now when the birds are fewer and students numbered by the hundreds of thousands.
