Bird Parks for Waynesburg 



Mr. J. Warren Jacobs, the well-known 

 manufacturer of Purple Martin houses, 

 has made an offer to the people of Waynes- 

 burg, Pennsylvania, to make bird-sanc- 

 tuaries of the parks in that city if he can 



T.\MING CHICKADEES 

 Mrs. George H. McGregor, Fall River, Mass. 



If 

 are 



have the cooperation of the authorities, 

 the very reasonable conditions he asks are 

 complied with, he will supply at his own 

 expense 



"The entire parks with all necessary 

 bird-houses, nesting-boxes, feeding devices 

 and drinking-fountains, and two sections 

 with berry-bearing and fruit-bearing 

 shrubbery, plants, etc., nesting-bushes 

 and, on the whole, make the conditions in 

 these two spots ideal for the birds; in 



time even bringing the Bob-white to the 

 grounds, if a protected fiock can be found 

 within a mile of the plot." 



Another Worker 



Mrs. George W. Turner, Secretary of 

 the Audubon Society of Buffalo, has 

 recently become semi-officially connected 

 with the National Association as field 

 representative. 



As a lecturer on various bird-study sub- 

 jects and bird-protection, she is very much 

 in demand in western New York, and it is 

 to be hoped that her activities will. extend 

 over a far wider range of the country. 

 Interested persons may reach her by 

 addressing their communications to 12 

 Clarendon Place, Buffalo, New York. 



An Unique Museum 



William Leon Dawson has sent out a 

 formal statement that there has been 

 incorporated in Santa Barbara, Cali- 

 fornia, the "Museum of Comparative 

 Oology," in which not only his own collec- 

 tion of birds' eggs will be deposited, but 

 those of others from time to time. His 

 idea is ultimately to have a large scientific 

 collection of birds' eggs, which will be 

 available for all bird-students along the 

 Pacific Coast, or visiting students from 

 other regions. 



This movement doubtless will arouse 

 much interest and cooperation. Among 

 other uses it will surely serve to give 

 young students an opportunity to become 

 acquainted with the form and appearance 

 of wild birds' eggs, without becoming 

 oological collectors. 



Virginia 



The Virginia Legislature is in session, 

 and again an effort is being made to 

 secure the establishment of a State Game- 

 Warden System. Such a measure has 

 been introduced and defeated at these 

 bi-annual sessions for several j^ears. Suc- 

 cess to the faithful workers!
