Bird-Lore (Bookshelf)
From Project Gutenberg, the first producer of free ebooks.
Bird-Lore was the immediate predecessor of Audubon magazine. It was first published in 1899 by Frank Chapman. The coverpiece described the magazine as the "Official Organ of the Audubon Societies" and "an illustrated bi-monthly magazine devoted to the study and protection of birds. The National Association of Audubon Societies purchased Bird-Lore from Chapman in 1935. After the National Association of Audubon Societies became the National Audubon Society in 1940, Bird-Lore became Audubon Magazine in 1941. The magazine's name was changed to Audubon in 1966.
