. The home life of wild birds; a new method of the study and photography of birds. Birds; Photography of birds. Fig. 72. Night Hawk twelve days old, July 6th. as an old bird descends like a bolt toward the earth. As these sounds increase with their nearer approach, the nervous e.Kcitement of the young is curious to behold. He is all a-trenior, moves now in one direction, now in another and s pc-iir! note reaches a pitch unknown before. Presently you hear a thud as if a clod of earth had dropped. Tlien the mother bird, crawling over the leaves, begins calling ke-ark ! ke-ark ! This sound however un- couth to the human ear, corresponds to the cluck 1 of the hen to her chicks, and awak- ens an immediate le- sponse in the young Night Hawk. He does his best to go to his mother, but the ob- stacles being insur- mountable, she comes to him. She is load- ed with fireflies, and as her great mouth opens, you behold the wide jaws and throat brilliantly illuminated like a spacious apart- ment all aglow with electricity. With wings erect and full-spread, the old bird a p- proached to within fifteen inches of my hand, making an elec- tric display at every utterance of her harsh kf-ark I Then stand- ing over her young, with riiisctl and quivering wings, she put her bill well down into his throat and pumped him full. Plis down-covei'ed wings were also spread and a-quiver. In this position they remained interlocked and silent for one or two minutes. When the feeding was over she tucked the little one under her breast and began to brood. It was not long before she was off again in the darkness, and upon returning the performance was repeated..
