14 Massachusetts Audubon Society 



The activities of the local secretaries have varied according to 

 time, place and opportunity. Many have given bird lectures, led bird 

 walks, organized local bird clubs, encouraged and assisted local organ- 

 izations and individuals to establish sanctuaries, feed the birds, put 

 up birdhouses, and form junior Audubon Societies, and in general have 

 made themselves the centre of activities of the neighborhood in bird 

 study and bird protection. 



Game A gratifying evidence of the appreciation of our work 



Wardens by State authorities was a recent invitation on the part 

 Interested, of the Commissioners on Fisheries and Game to supply 

 literature and suggestions to the game wardens and State 

 employees at the game farms and fish hatcheries of the State as to 

 the building and use of birdhouses. For some time many of the war- 

 dens have been interested and active in instructing the school-chil- 

 dren and others of their districts in bird protection methods, realizing 

 the value of an aroused public sentiment in preventing infractions of 

 the game laws. The Audubon Society is glad to be able to assist 

 and help extend these activities and feels that the interest thus shown 

 is a valuable asset in its work.
