520    "In 1906 George Shiras III (1859-1942) published a series 
       of remarkable nighttime photographs in National 
       Geographic. Taken with crude equipment, the black-and-
       white photographs featured leaping whitetail deer, a 
       beaver gnawing on a tree, and a snowy owl perched along 
       the shore of a lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The 
       pictures, stunning in detail and composition, celebrated 
       American wildlife at a time when many species were going 
       extinct because of habitat loss and unrestrained hunting. 
       As a congressman and lawyer, Shiras joined forces with his
       friend Theodore Roosevelt, and scientists in Washington, 
       D.C. who shaped the conservation movement during the 
       Progressive Era. His legal and legislative efforts 
       culminated with the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty 
       Act. Camera Hunter recounts Shiras's life and craft as he 
       traveled to wild country in North America, refined his 
       trail camera techniques, and advocated for the protection 
       of wildlife. This biography serves as an important record 
       of Shiras's accomplishments as a visual artist, wildlife 
       conservationist, adventurer, and legislator"--|cProvided
