viu BIRD STUDIES WITH A CAMERA 



ill the study of birds in Nature, and at the same 

 time furnish a more profitable and delightful out- 

 let for the hunting instinct than is afforded by the 

 shotgun or rifle. 



A large proportion of the Bird Rock pictures and 

 several of those from Pelican Island have appeared 

 in the Century and St. Nicholas respectively, and 

 are here reproduced by the courtesy of the editors 

 of those magazines ; others have been previously 

 published in Bird-Lore.
