VOL. Ill JUNE, 1903. NO. 6 



This month marks the height of the nesting period of birds. Near- 

 ly all birds that rear but one brood a year, are engaged in caring for 

 their young during the month of June. Doubtless many of our read- 

 ers will brave the heat to find out new things about the birds in their 

 locality. We are always glad to publish authentic notes and our other 

 readers will be pleased to know what you have seen. 



Camerists have commenced work and we have already received some 

 very good bird photographs. If any of our readers are thinking of 

 getting a new camera and want the best, I can take pleasure in recom- 

 mending the Graflex. I have made very complete tests with this 

 camera and have found it perfect for all classes of work. It is 

 quite an expensive camera, but if perfect results at all times, are any 

 object, this is the camera that you need. This camera is advertised 

 elsewhere in this issue, and the same company also make a complete 

 line of ordinary camera.
