Bird-Lore, March-April 1916

A vibrant snapshot of early‑20th‑century birdwatching, this issue gathers vivid field reports, striking illustrations, and practical advice for enthusiasts of all ages. Readers travel from the Sierra Nevada, where a robin sings among towering sequoias, to the coastal marshes of North Carolina, following the spring migration of countless feathered travelers. The pages are filled with detailed sketches by noted artists, photographs of flickers and owls, and insightful essays on bird behavior and habitat.

Beyond the scientific notes, the magazine offers hands‑on guidance for club members, from building nest boxes to setting up simple feeding stations. Short, lively pieces on backyard sightings—such as a bold winter wren or an evening grosbeak—invite listeners to pause and appreciate the everyday wonders of avian life. Whether you’re a seasoned ornithologist or a curious newcomer, the blend of observation, art, and practical tips makes this edition a delightful listening experience.
