OUR FEATHERED FRIENDS 



proprietor of a great estate or the owner of a window-sill, can make 

 the acquaintance and win the confidence of birds, adding them to his 

 circle of appreciative friends and charming visitors. 



George Shiras, 3rd, the inventor of flashlight photography of 

 wild animals and of methods of making animals and birds take their 

 own portraits, gives some useful hints on the latter subject. 



Utility, beauty, and art are served alike when man befriends the 



birds.
