Gromme, John L. Diedrich, and Murl Deusing of the Milwaukee Public Museum; Dixie Larkin of the Wisconsin Audubon Camp; Frank Bellrose of the National History Survey Division at Urbana, Illinois, and the Plankinton Packing Company; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Morse of the Ned Hollister Bird Club, who supplied information on field trips and bird photography; and Mr. and Mrs. David Cox also of the Ned Hollister Bird Club, who provided information on bird banding. My thanks again go to Andrew Bihun, Jr. of The Audubon Magazine, who offered many helpful suggestions in addition to permission to use material from the magazine, and to Robert J. Woodward, who graciously offered the use of several pictures. Special thanks go to my wife, whose valuable suggestions have resulted in more practical feeder designs and to my son, Tom, who contributed forty-two bird identification illustrations that greatly enhance the book. Very grateful acknowledgment is also due to those at The Bruce Publishing Company, especially Constance Bergman, a very fine and most able editor, and to editorial assistants Sondra Roth and David Socholitzky
