NEST OF MEADOW-LARK. 



"Orthochromatic or isochromatic plates, when they can be ob- 

 tained fresh, are preferred for floral or landscape work, because they 

 give better color values. 



"In photographing an adult bird on the nest, the camera may 

 be focused on the nest and everything made ready for the expos- 

 ure ; then one may go some distance away and, when the bird returns, 

 take the picture by pulling a string attached to the shutter. 



''In all our experience in bird photography the Yellow-billed 

 cuckoo is the only one that has destroyed eggs because of our in- 

 trusion."
