Description
Photograph of ostriches at an Ostrich Farm in California, ca.1900. A dozen ostriches stand in a cluttered group at center with a wooden fence and trees guarding them in the background. They curl their long legs under their massive torsos when they walk and several of them can be seen extending their small wings out to their sides. While the others look and face each other, one ostrich can be seen on the right running into the foreground.
