In order to study birds feeding their young, drinking, bathing and per forming other tanks of their every-day life, the photographer and his camera are concealed In an artificial tree trunk or brush head. So efficient are these contrivances that birds will sometimes alight on the top of them, Just where they eannot be ' taken. Water presents &* times some almost insurmountable dKlcoritieg to the nat ural history photographer, but pluck and ingenuity die hard, and pictures may often be snatched by an intrepid spirit out of situations that would set a faint-hearted man despairing.
