CAMERA STUDIES OF WILD BIRDS IN THEIR 

 HOMES 



"Camera Studies" affords every one an opportunity for 

 a very intimate study of bird life. A good photograph of an 

 event together with an interesting description of it is the 

 next best thing to witnessing the event itself, in fact some- 

 times it is better, as no risk is involved. 



"Camera Studies" has 250 photographs of events as they 

 occurred right in the birds' homes. These pictures were 

 chiefly selected from the author's magnificent collection of 

 more than 2,000 bird photographs and include some of the 

 finest studies ever made of free, living wild birds. 



Many rare and interesting poses are faithfully shown by the 

 camera. For instance, a pair of adult Chipping Sparrows, 

 standing on a branch by the side of their four young, are 

 engaged in pulling apart a green worm that was too large to be 

 given whole. Other birds are shown sitting on their eggs, 

 brooding their young, feeding them in all sorts of positions 

 and situations, flying about their nests, etc. The making 

 of these pictures extended over a period of twelve years and 

 some of them required several days of tiresome work before 

 they were secured. 



The stories accompanying these pictures are as interesting 

 as the pictures and, above all, they are all actual facts. The 

 equipment required and the different methods of securing 

 the pictures are also explained so that any one with the 

 requisite amount of patience and " sticktuitiveness " can 

 secure similar results.
