Bird Guide Land Birds East of the Rockies

The Bird Guide Land Birds East of the Rockies, published by Doubleday, Page & Company and printed by The Country Life Press in 1916.  5 1/2” by 3 3/8”

Within the small guidebook is a diagram of a bird, several colored images of birds, and a printer's logo.

This near pocket-sized book contains information regarding a variety of bird species' traits, calls, and habits to help birders identify them in the field. The attention to detail within colored printing (which would have been expensive to print at the time) display the degree to which bird watching was enjoyed in the early 1900s.
