vill BIRD STUDIES WITH A CAMERA 
in 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.
