 At this meeting, also, prizes were established for the best photographs of Quail 

 and Cardinals at feeding-stands in St. Louis during January and February, 

 1922. Our Christmas bird-census was taken as in previous years, at Creve 

 Coeur Lake, and reported to Bird-Lore. Considerable work has been done in 

 the development of the St. Louis Bird Sanctuary, established by the Park 

 Department on the recommendation and plans of the Bird Club. Grading of 

 this 8-acre tract on the bluffs of O'Fallon Park is now completed; fences on

 Posters, Junior Membership, and Bird- Walks, and the offices of corresponding 

 secretary and legal advisor were named. — (Dr.) R. J. Terry, President.
