Summary: | An image scanned from a black and white photograph with a handwritten caption that reads, "Nest and Eggs of Common Tern." Saved within a small collection of photographs of bird nests taken around 1905. Some are identified as having been taken by Ora Willis Knight, a member of the University of Maine Class of 1895, Maine Experiment Station assistant, resident of Bangor and Portland, and someone who, according to his obituary printed in the Bangor Daily Commercial Nov. 12, 1913, gained a national reputation as a chemist, geologists, and ornithologist. https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/spec_photos/3667/thumbnail.jpg |
