been particularly fine. In January Dr. Witmer Stone gave an illustrated address 

 on his experiences in the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona. Different Club 

 members have given summaries of their summer bird-study as it has been 

 carried on in the White Mountains, Long Island, Buck Hill Falls, Pocono Lake 

 Preserve, and Porto Rico. One delightful evening was spent with the birds of 

 Palestine. Mr. Waldo Hayes told of their wonders as he found them in the 

 Near East during his reconstruction work there. 



The second annual Bird Club Bulletin was issued in August of this year. 

 This contains twenty-one pages describing the activities of the Club. The talent 

 of the members is again shown in it by two original poems: "The Carolina 

 Wren" and "Peach Bottom." The eighth annual pilgrimage to Peach Bottom, 

 Pa., was again a red-letter occasion. Several field-trips and early morning 

 walks have been taken. Interest in and knowledge of bird-life in the entire 

 community has greatly increased the past year. This is due largely to the many 

 Club members that are engaged in work in the field of education. — (Miss) 

 Lillian W. Pierce, Secretary. 



Winter Park (Fla.) Bird Club. — We have had a very successful and en- 

 couraging year. Meetings were held regularly during the fall, winter, and spring, 

 with an average attendance of fifty, and the papers and bird-talks were of 

 more than usual interest. One illustrated lecture on "Birds of the Lake Region" 

 was given by Gerard Alan Abbott. Dr. L. H. Hallock gave several interesting 

 talks before the Club, also to the schools and at the tourist hotels. The Secre- 

 tary gave two illustrated lectures at the Florida Sanitarium. Several important 

 features in the way of illustrated lectures are planned for the coming winter. 

 The bird-walks, so profitable to many of the Club members last season, will be 

 resumed in December. The Club has given two bird fountains to the public 

 parks and has planned to put up a large number of nesting-boxes during the 

 winter. The general supervision of the Winter Park Bird Sanctuary, which 

 includes all lands within the incorporated limits and much adjoining property, 

 will remain an important part of the work of the Club. A great increase in 

 bird-life within the limits of the sanctuary has been noted during the year, 

 and the success of this sanctuary has resulted in the establishment of seven 

 more, the last being the city of St. Petersburg, the successful mover there being 

 Mrs. Katherine B. Tippetts, President of the State Audubon Society and one of 

 the active friends of the wild birds in Florida. The Club has about ioo active 

 members, a considerable number of bird-lovers from other states being on the 

 list. — W. Scott Way, Secretary. 



Wyncote (Pa.) Bird Club. — Another milestone passed in the history of the 

 Wymote Bird Club shows a gain in many ways. Our paid-up membership for 

 1920 is 75 adults and 80 Juniors. Meetings have been held more regularly than 

 before and attendance has been greater. On Annual Bird Day, Ernest Harold
