PHOTOGRAPHERS. 



Remember that on the 1st of October our bird photo contest ends. 

 Be sure and get your pictures here before then. We have received a 

 large number now and have assurance of many more. See if you can 

 not send the best one. Terms and premiums may be found on an ad- 

 vertising page in this number. 



Prints can be on any paper except blueprint and may be either 

 mounted or not. 



Reports still continue to come in regarding the great destruction of 

 birds during the recent storms. It will be several years before the loss 

 of life sustained in these few weeks will be overcome. 



Commencing with September the Fall migration begins. This 

 is only secondary to the Spring migration as the most interesting per- 

 iod of the year to watch birds. It affords an opportunity for a vast 

 amount of skill in identifying the young birds and the adults in their 

 different plumages.
