Job, Herbert Keightley. Wild wings: adventures of a camera-hunter among the larger wild birds of America on land and sea. [**]$3. Houghton.
A simple story of the author’s conflicts and conquests as he hunted with his camera “the wild hardy birds of the sea, whose strong wings make them masters of the elements.” His search took him from the Magdalen islands to the Florida keys and he gives pictures of pelicans, kittiwakes and gannets, of laughing gulls, cormorants and auks, of plovers brooding their young, and of the great horned owl mothering her owlet. There are 160 of these photographs.
