=Bird Studies with a Camera. With Introductory Chapters on the Outfit

Natural History; Author of “Handbook of Birds of Eastern North
America” and “Bird-Life.” Illustrated with over 100 Photographs

Bird students and photographers will find that this book possesses for
them a unique interest and value. It contains fascinating accounts of
the habits of some of our common birds and descriptions of the largest
bird colonies existing in eastern North America; while its author’s
phenomenal success in photographing birds in Nature not only lends to
the illustrations the charm of realism, but makes the book a record of
surprising achievements with the camera. The book is practical as well
as descriptive, and in the opening chapters the questions of camera,
lens, plates, blinds, decoys, and other pertinent matters are fully
discussed, making the work an admirable guide for the camera hunter.
