Excerpt from American Ornithology, Vol. 6: A Magazine Devoted Entirely to Birds We wish all our readers the best of success during the year 1906. May it bring many new admirers for our feathered friends, as well as increase the interest of those that are already devoted to their welfare. The President of our country is interested in the protection of our native birds and has caused a number of islands to be made into public reservations for breeding places for wild fowls; let each of us add our mite in the great work. Feed the birds when their natural food is scarce and protect them from their enemies, especially when they are nesting. We want to make this magazine just as interesting as we can to all our readers and we ask you all to co-operate with us. A wide-awake person rarely goes into the woods or fields without seeing some interesting phase of bird life; make notes of these and write them up and send them to us for others to read. Of course we are always glad to receive any suggestions as to how we can make any improvement. If you think any special departments would be of interest to the majority of our readers write and tell us so; we shall be pleased to adopt any feasible requests that may be made. Our supplements to be colored have hit a popular chord, and judging by the number received and the quality of the work, our country will not in the future find a lack of competent artists. We received 235 of the Bluebird pictures and many were exceptionally good, so that judging them was a difficult matter. We finally made the following three awards from about 25 of practically equal merit: 1st., Rosemary Hopkins. Cincinnati, O.; 2nd., George Gerald, Rosedale, Toronto; 3rd., Armand R. Tibbitts, Waukesho, Wis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
