to the shutter. The bird, however, was 
afraid of the camera and did not return 
to the eggs though she continued sailing 
about the place. 
I next tried introducing my apparatus 
gradually. First, I drove a board in the 
ground about three feet from the eggs. 
This had four holes bored in it and was 
needed in operating the shutter. I also 
set the unopened camera on the tripod 
about seven feet away and awaited re- 
sults. The bird was soon on the eggs 
again. I next moved the camera to 
within a foot of where I wanted it. The 
bird again returned without any loss of 
time and my hopes of getting the picture 
rose. I next moved the camera up the 
remaining foot, set it, and again awaited 
results. The bird again failed to return 
as soon as I hoped. I did not want to 
keep the bird from the eggs too long 
and removed the camera again. 
The next morning I placed an um- 
brella tent four feet from the eggs. 
Soon she was on the eggs again and I 
was confident of getting the coveted pic- 
ture. I took two companions with me, 
and with them near-by entered the blind, 
adjusted the camera, and then had them 
slowly and in a conspicuous way walk 
off. The bird without any preliminary 
flying about the place settled on the 
ground about a foot from the eggs and 
then waddled to them. She turned 
around, adjusted herself on the eggs, and 
I, as may be surmised, quickly made an 
exposure. She never' even winked at the 
click of the shutter and I rapidly changed 
the position of the camera, set the shut- 
ter, and then in quick succession made 
three additional exposures. I then took 
down the camera and set the parts out 
on the opposite side of the blind from 
that on which the bird sat winking and 
apparently dozing in the sunshine. I 
crawled out of the tent, walked to one 
side for another look at the bird, and 
then hurried home glad I had at last 
succeeded in outwittin? the wary bird.

THE CALL OF MEADOW 
AND BAY 
( Continued from page 441) 
Before us was the open water of the in- 
let, to our left was another small island 
with a wide creek separating it from us, 
below or to our right the shore line 
curved away and ended in a sharp point 
of high reeds. A more satisfactory lo- 
cation for decoy shooting could not have 
been imagined. It was the keen and prac- 
ticed judgment of the best gunner on the 
bay that had given us this ideal shooting 
point. 
Howard and Keifer, the two baymen 
who were conducting all the plans of the 
party, had decided the night before that 
it would be more sport to make a one 
blind party and all shoot over the same 
stools. This was perfectly satisfactory
