CALIFORNIA THRASHER Photographed by Emily S. M. Waite A CALIFORNIA THRASHER This photograph of a California Thrasher was taken near the 'Cottages' at the upper end of the Ojai Valley, Ventura County, California, which is a veritable paradise for birds, from the humble 'Linnet' to the great Condor sailing over the highest peaks of the Santa Ynez Mountains. We had for implements a No. 3 A. Folding Kodak, with portrait lens, and a wooden box loaded with stones, to which the camera was tied as we possessed no clamp to steady it. We placed a large flat stone on a pedestal of smaller ones, and put food on it twice a day before we tried any snapshots. —Emily S. M.
