Richard Kearton. an English ornithologist
and photographer. although famed badly as
a result OF an accident when cliff climbing. is
engaged to-day in the work OF maging pic
lures OF birds that make their nests in places
inaccessible to any save the most daring men.
Mr.. Kearton came TO Washington before Presi-
dent Roosevelt went out OF Office and he was
entertained at the White House and was led
through the woods the ravines and fields near
the capital city by the president OF the United
States in order that he might get knowledge
of American bird life. Since his return to
England the English people have paid marked
attention TO their fellow countryman. They
had recognized him a scientist worthy OF
consideration prior To the time OF his visit to
this country. but the attention that the styenu-
GUS president of the United States paid to the
English bird lover brought to him additional
attention and the marked consideration OF
some people who had been given to ignoring
him the ground that he was a photogra-
pher rather than scientist Mr.. Kearton is
both a photographer and a scientist and his
contribution OF his knowledge OF English bird
life Is OF immense value TO bird students
