someone present telling an incident or experience of the different birds as they 

 were flashed on the screen. Mr. Avery gave the general information. — (Mrs.) 

 Charles M. Wilson, Secretary. 



Bird Conservation Club of Bangor (Maine). — Our Club has been espe- 

 cially active during the last year. At the request of the National Association 

 we caused many letters to be sent to the Congressmen and Senators from Maine 

 protesting against infringement upon any part of Yellowstone Park. Last year 

 the Club placed a cabinet of mounted birds in the Children's Room of the Ban- 

 gor Public Library. Most of the birds had met death by accident, and the Club 

 had them mounted. A few were presented by friends. This year we have had 

 a second cabinet made to be placed on the other side of the fireplace. The chil- 

 dren have shown much interest in studying the birds. We have kept up the 

 work of feeding winter birds and putting up nesting-houses. In one cemetery 

 where we have fifteen bird-houses, twelve were occupied this last summer. 

 Through the year, from November to June, a member of the Club has contrib- 

 uted bird-notes regularly to one of our daily papers of wide circulation. 



The monthly meetings have been well attended and of great interest. Public 

 lectures were given for us by Professor Hitchings of the University, of Maine, 

 on "A Bird Trip to Islands of Penobscot Bay;" by Rev. George W. Hinckley, of 

 Good Will Farm, on "The Birds of Good Will;" and by Rev. Arthur Wilson, 

 of Belfast, on "Birds in Poetry." Our feeding meetings constitute one of our 

 great assets. We hold them throughout the spring and early summer and again 

 during the fall months. — (Miss) Alice B. Brown, Secretary. 



Bird Lovers' Club of Brooklyn (N. Y.). — With the opening of the fall 

 season, 1920, the Bird Lovers' Club of Brooklyn starts its thirteenth year of 

 activity as an organization. During the past twelve months the Club has 

 carried on an extensive membership campaign. To help stimulate interest in 

 this work, a number of field-trips, covering the best bird regions in the vicinity 

 of New York City, have been mapped out and are to be set before all those who 

 may be interested in ornithology. To reach the general public, hand-painted 

 posters showing accurate studies of our birds have been placed in prominent 

 places in our parks and museums. The bird-work in the parks of Brooklyn has 

 been enhanced by the hearty cooperation of the Commissioner of Parks, John 

 N. Harman. 



The Club meets in the Library of the Children's Museum at 8 p.m., on the 

 first Saturday of each month, October to June inclusive. Visitors are welcome 

 at all meetings. — George B. Wilmott, Secretary. 



Burroughs Junior Audubon Society of Kingston (N. Y.). — We re-
