The first Audubon Magazine, published by George Bird Grinnell in his weekly journal Forest and Stream 1887 in the Interests of the Audubon Society for the PROTECTION OF BIRDS is a fascinating piece of conservation history.  

​

As noted in this magazine from a private collection:

A facsimile of Vol. 1, No. 1 of The Audubon Magazine, originally published in February 1887 and reprinted as a supplement to the March 1987 issue of AUDUBON.
