IV 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.
