CAMERA SHOTS AT BIG GAME 41 



twenty feet and whistled, when he turned, and the snap was 

 made. 



Another band of antelope came in, but they seemed to know 

 where I was, for they drank at the upper end of the water, 

 then went out on the bank, and snorted at me while I got a 

 negative of them at sixty yards with the telephoto lens. (No. 

 12.) I stayed until sunset, watching the play of the antelope 

 as they came and went about the water, some below and some 

 above my stand. Then the sage-hens commenced to flock in, 

 some on the ground, but the greater number flying. They 

 seemed to fear danger during the middle of the day, but early 

 in the morning and late in the evening they flocked around by 

 the thousands. The golden eagle is their most terrifying 

 enemy. I found a jack-rabbit near the tent one day, and got 

 within five feet of him; secured two negatives (Nos. 1 and 2), 

 and then caught a snap-shot of him while running (No. 3). 



The following day I secured a picture of a buck and fawn 

 at the same place, and then we bade adieu to the desert, and took 

 our way to the haunts of other game.
