. The home life of wild birds; a new method of the study and photography of birds. Birds; Photography of birds. Red-Eyed Vircos. 65 birds always perched, and thus stoud directl)- over their brood. Any vibration of the nest, as when the feet of the old bird touched the main stem to which it was fixed, or any sound above or below electrified the young, and up popped their heads like two jacks in a box. With mouths wide agape, they would clamor and quaver, expressing their emo- tions not only by the vibration of the wings but by the shaking of the whole body. But the young at this tender age are unable to discriminate with any exactness. The quivering of a leaf, or the stirring of a twig close at hand, a puff of wind, the flutter of a 'ing or the voice of any passing bird would throw them into the same state of excitement. But this was only for a moment. Their heads would again drop listlessly over the wall of the nest, and with open mouths, they 'ould doze in the sunshine. Something wcjuld then suddenly arouse them, when they w'ould in- stinctively" go to preening them- selves just like old birds, although the)' had at this time no feathers which seemed to need this atten- tion. Quite often you would hear a Iiuic I hiiic ! which alwaj'S aroused tlie young, who would tsip ! back in earnest. While the mother was again coming slowly towards the nest with a bee in her mouth, another bee happened to criiss her path. She darted after it but missed her aim. Then, dis- posing (if the first insect, she -atched her )'oung intently for a moment, stooped, picked > a small white package, and hurried away. At one o'clock the old birds took a midday rest, and it was full twenty minutes before that reassuring piort ! piort ! was heard. Then as, step b}' step, the mother came nearer the magnet, the drawing power of wdiich was irresistible, her livelier luiic I Iiiiic ! awoke the young, who started and replied sunt I sivit ! Thereupon the old bird quickh' hopped along
