Excerpt from Wild Birds in City Parks: Being Hints on Identifying 200 Birds, Prepared Primarily for the Spring Migration in Lincoln Park, Chicago, but Adapted to Other Localities The object of this little book is to furnish those who may be interested in making the acquaintance of wild birds with a simple letter of introduction to 200 birds, the majority of which are commonly seen during the spring migration. Complete descriptions have been avoided, in the belief that the student should rely upon his own observation for the discovery of minor details. The living bird is the one important fact which will make the brief hints offered of value. Anyone caring to make use of these hints may be assured that during the migrations of the birds city dwellers have one of the keenest delights of country life brought to their very. Doors, because many birds, migrating largely at night, are attracted by the lights of the city and stop off in their long journey to feed, so that a city park often contains a greater variety of feathered visitors than an equal area in the country. We wish to remind those of our friends who have asked for pictures in a future edition that every springtime this book is copiously illustrated in our parks and around our homes by hundreds of living birds and that these illustra tions are all life size, absolutely accurate in detail and color ed true to nature.
