Baby birds in a line (from Bird Lore)

I was delighted to discover that Google Books now offers full reads of Bird Lore, the old Audubon publication. Early issues seem obsessed with the new art of wildlife photography. Completely offensive to contemporary norms, some photographers would take baby birds out of their nests, line them up on a tree branch, snap a family photo, and then put the babies back. As I read the issues, I'll add examples of the baby-birds-in-a-line trope. So far, I have chickadees (December 1899)



and kingfishers (!) (Jan-Feb 1908)



Fewer birds, but same idea: American bitterns


Saw-whet Owls (1901)


Screech Owls (1901)


Mockingbirds (1901)


Barn Owls


Bluebirds


Goldfinches


Broad-winged hawks


Bank Swallows


Red-Tailed Hawks


Rose-breasted Grosbeaks


Green Herons


House Wrens


Bush-tits


Least Flycatchers


Black-headed Grosbeaks


Cedar Waxwings


House Wrens


American Robins


Avocets


Louisiana Water-Thrushes


And finally, not birds in a row, but an audacious example of human interference for the sake of a good photo:
Chestnut-sided Warblers (1901)
