Closeup Photos Of Birds
Easier to Get in Winter
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
cvrotor Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

pictures is to have them come
to you.e This is possible by
offering them a constant food
and water supply located in a
safe place. A supply Of string
ana other nesting material is
another inducement that will
keep birds active in your yard.
A permanent feeding station
is as good a lure as any. This
can be a very simple arrange
ment that Is inexpensive to
install. Simply fasten a fiat
board atop a post that is sunk
firmly in the ground. Food
and water can be maintained
on the feeding platform or
containers can be fastened to
the sides Of the post.
The feeding station should
be located out of reach for
any of the natural enemies Of
birds. Never place it under
the overhanging limbs of a
tree. Proving cats and squir-
rels. not to mention rats, find
the tree an ideal place to drop
to the feeding platform. Squir-
rels should be kept away be-
cause they not only frighten
off the birds but gobble up the
feed or take it away for winter
storage. A metal f1ange pro-
jectlng from around the post
will keep them from climbing
up that way.
Birds Like Sole Escape Spot
AS we have said, birds are
shy creatures and under nor
NAL conditions will avoid even
a well-stocked eating place if
no cover is nearby. An ideal
spot would be one where there
are a number of trees and
shrubs. Here, approaching
birds can come in for a secure
landing and look the situation
over before approaching your
feeding station.
If the station is close to a
window of your house you can
sit inside and snap away with
comparative ease. While shoot
ing through an open window
is best, if the glass is clean you
can take the pictures through
the window glass on cold days.
If you live in an apartment
or for some other reason find
it impractical to install a
feeding station. you can still
have your bird pictures by at
taching a good-sized feeding
tray to your window sill. In
either situation have your
camera at the ready, having
previously focused on the spot
where the food is located.
Then, as a bird comes in for
its landing you can fire away.
The sound of the shutter
may scare your subjects of for
a moment or so but this will
give you time to wind the film
and get set for the next shot.
A series Of pictures Of one
bird is a goal to try for.
Catch him in midair. coming
in. for the first shot.
Then make one as he alights,
others while he eats or drinks
and finally one more as he
takes of.
Fascinating SideIine
Later In the spring, when
our summer birds have come
North you will undoubtedly
find many opportunities to
make series shots Of the nest
building, eggs. Matching out.
young birds, etc. AS the sum-
mer progresses you will find
your feeding station crowded
with all the birds native to
this part of the country and,
if you follow through with your
camera. you will soon find
yourself engrosSed in one Of
the most fascinating sides to

Camera Angles

If you found attractive the
suggestions made last week for
hunting wildlife with camera
instead of gun, but for some
reason found the plans out of
reach, here is a modified YER
sion that may appeal to the
most confirmed stay-at-home
photographer. Have a try at
photographing the birds that
remain here during the winter
months.
Although considerably more
accustomed to human beings
than the wild animals of the
countryside, birds are a wary
lot and are not so easy to
record on film as you might
suspect. It's no trick to snap
a picture of a bird perched
high no the limb of a tree,
but it takes real skill and
patience to fill the negative
with a closeup of one.
Aside from the fact that no
bird in its right mind will al
low you close enough for a
closeup shot they are in con-
slant motion, hopping about,
twisting their heads from side
to side, pecking away at bits
of food. both real and imagi-
nary, and suddenly taking off
for distant parts for no ap-
parent (to YOU reason.
Fost Comero Will Help
So it's up to a cameraman
either to get within shooting
range by strategem or to lure
the suspicious little subject to
him. This accomplished, it's
strictly up to man and camera.
Obviously it will take a
pretty fast camera to do the
job right.
Perhaps the most desirable
shots of birds are those where
they are stopped dead in flight
as they come in for a landing
or just as they have left the
perch. This means you will
need a fast lens-shutter COM
bination not found in box
cameras and the like.
A first rate lens is needed to
bring out the full detail of the
feather structure.
The winter has been partic-
ularly favorable for bird pho
Biography because the SHOWS
we had cut of most of the
normal food supply for inter-
walls long enough to force the
birds to accept anything avail
able. BY scattering bread
crumbs and small grain we had
numbers of normally timid
birds waiting at our back door
for another feeding. Instead
of flying off in alarm, as was
the usual case, they only
hoped off a few feet and
waited expectantly for a hand
out. Try it yourself if we have
more snow.
Practice Becomes Hobby
Many camera fans started
out with the idea of pitting
their skill against the natural
shyness of birds just to get
one or two pictures, and be-
came so fascinated by bird
watching and photography
that they became ardent bird
photographers the year round
and now have large picture
collections of identified birds
that have passed through
Washington through the four
seasons.

feet were made a few days ago by spokes-
man for the Waterfront Commission
The strike last spring was ended finally
by series of legal moves through Federal
and State agencies. It was demonstration
of effective coordination on the Federal and
State levels, and the prospect of a similar
counterattack probably has had something
to do with the fact that the new trouble
has been brought to halt after little more
than day. settlement having been agreed
upon last night. In the long run, however,
the will of the longshoremen themselves to
have decent and responsible unionisn will
be needed to bring dependable peace to

On the New York Docks

Once again the greatest seaport In the
world has been on strike, its docks semi-
paralyzed with the International Long
shoremens Association picketing the esti-
mated $50 miles of waterfront in the New
York-New Jersey harbor area. For nearly
a month last spring the same union tied up
the same harbor at cost of millions and
millions of dollars.
The latest dispute has revolved pri-
marily around such things as wage rates,
employer contributions to welfare funds and
the question Of whether retroactive and
future scales should be included in new
contract and at the same figures. Behind
this issue, however, is the deeper one of
the very character of the lila and the ques-
ton of whether it has divested itself OF the
gangster control that led to It's expulsion
from the American Federation Of Labor In
