Herrick, Francis Hobart. Home life of wild birds: a new method of the study and photography of birds. [**]$2. Putnam.
The “new method” consists in carrying away the nest with its eggs or young birds and also its immediate surroundings and setting it up before a green tent where it may be watched and photographed at leisure. 150 photographs of thirty species of our common birds attest the value of this method. The author also gives the results of his close observation of the nests.
