2 Massachusetts Audubon Society 



NEW DIRECTORS 



The Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Audubon Society has ac- 

 cepted with great regret the resignations of two members of the Board 

 who have been active in the work of the Society for many years. One is 

 Mrs. Frank Bolles, who is prevented by absence in the South from con- 

 tinuing her work on the Board; the other is Dr. George W. Field, who also 

 resigns on account of absence, his important position on the United States 

 Biological Survey, with headquarters at Washington, keeping him away 

 from Massachusetts most of the time. At the regular December meeting 

 of the Directors, Judge Charles F. Jenney and Dr. Glover M. Allen were 

 elected to fill the vacancies. Judge Jenney, besides bringing to the delib- 

 erations of the Board the judicial qualities of a justice of the Superior 

 Court of Massachusetts, is also an excellent field ornithologist with a large 

 ornithological library and a permanent interest in birds and their pro- 

 tection. Dr. Allen is Secretary and Librarian of the Boston Society of 

 Natural History, a professional ornithologist and mammalogist who has 

 an intimate acquaintance with New England birds. The Society is very 

 fortunate in securing the services of these gentlemen as Directors. 



SANCTUARY NOTES. 



The crisp winter weather invites our hardier bird-lovers to seek the 

 winter birds in the rarified air of the Moose Hill Sanctuary. Sharon has 

 been for decades noted for its ozonic atmosphere, and the Sanctuary, ly- 

 ing upon the sunny southeastern slopes of its highest hill, gets the fullest 

 value of this health-giving quality. The view from the top of the hill 

 sweeps the country for scores of miles in all directions, while the air from 

 the Arctic regions arrives in unbroken consignments of stimulating vigor. 

 The whole region is unexcelled for a tramp over the frozen fields or a 

 snowshoe trip among the white drifts. It is a place attractive to birds, 

 summer or winter, and the rarer winter visitants may be looked for there 

 now. Sanctuary for man as well as birds may be found at the farmhouse 

 headquarters where Warden Highbee is conducting experiments in winter 

 bird-feeding and is making daily notes of the bird life of the place. If 

 one plans a visit to the Sanctuary, it is well to make arrangements with 

 him. This can be done by telephoning Sharon 117-3, preferably between 

 11 and 12 A. M. 



Pine Grosbeaks and Evening Grosbeaks 



To the winter bird enthusiast probably London, Ontario, is the most 

 favored region yet reported. There they have lately not only the evening 

 and pine grosbeaks, but the cardinal as well. Massachusetts is so far not 

 quite so fortunate, as the cardinals are not to be found here. We have
