for the work. We are keeping 

 up our small bird refuge but 

 have no definite report on it 

 to offer. — Clarence J. Allen, 

 Acting Secretary. 



Wyncote (Pa.) Bird Club. 



— We have passed another 

 successful year, although not 

 so much has been accom- 

 plished as usual, because the 

 war has claimed so much of 

 our time and energies. Our 

 two most notable lectures of 

 the year have been by Mrs. S. 

 Louise Pattison, who gave us 

 a most delightful illustrated 

 talk on "The Birds, Our Allies 

 in the Food Campaign," and 

 by George B. Kaiser, who lec- 

 tured on "Our Native Wild 

 Flowers," illustrated by the 

 exquisite colored slides of the 

 Pennsylvania State Museum. 



We held the usual frequent 

 spring bird-walks and summer 

 picnics, and in September the 

 Club went by an automobile 

 truck to visit the Philadelphia 

 Zoological Gardens. A good 

 many Wren and Blue-bird 

 houses were made and erected, 

 and some were occupied. Feed- 

 ing in individual gardens was 

 continued, but little feeding in 

 the woods and outlying dis- 

 tricts was done, because our 

 President, E. H. Parry, who 



has heretofore done most of this, is now in the army. — (Miss) Esther Hea- 



COCK. Secretary.
