\0* FORTHE PEOPLE BIRDS OF WASHINGTON AND VICINITY ®Copyright, 1898, MAYNARDBy MRS. L. W. THE FRIEDENWALD CO., BALTIMORE, MD. dedicated' TO MY BOYS INSPIRING COMPANIONS IN ALL MY BIRD STUDIES AND EXCURSIONS PREFATORY NOTE. This little book has been prepared at the suggestion of the Audubon Society of the District of Columbia, in the belief that local worka giving untechnical de- scriptions of all birds Hkely to be seen in this vicinity, with something of the haunts and habits of those that here, will be useful manynest to who desire an ac- quaintance with our own birds but do not know just how to go about making it. Whatever success has been attained in the effort to make the book usefully accurate and complete has been made possible by some of our resident ornithologists, who generouslyhave most given information, obser- vations, and helpful criticism. I am especially in- debted to Mr. Robert Ridgway, Dr. C. W. Richmond, Dr. A. K. Fisher, Mr. William Palmer, and Dr. T. S. Palmer. Miss Florence A. Merriam has been the inspiration of the work from its inception. There are also others to whom I am deeply grateful for kind assistance. I would call attention to Dr. Richmond's valuable tabulated list of all birds found here and to(p. 178), Miss Merriam's introduction, with its hints on observ- ing, and suggestions as to where to find the District birds. The illustrations are bulletinreproduced from No. by Dr. A. K. Fisher, and bulletin No. by Prof.3 54 F. E. L.
