Bird Lectures 



The Annual Bird Lecture Course will be held this year in Symphony 

 Hall. The dates are February 28th, March 6th, 13th and 20th. The 

 opening lecture will be by Louis Agassiz Fuertes, best known probably 

 for his exquisite pictures of bird life. Mr. Fuertes is a naturalist of the 

 first order and has studied the lives of birds in tropical jungles and 

 northern wildernesses as well as about home. Besides his unequalled 

 pictures of bird life he gives some remarkable whistling imitations of 

 bird notes. In addition to Mr. Fuertes* pictures very interesting and 

 entertaining movies of bird and animal life will be presented. 



On March 6th the Society presents Mr. William L. Finley, of Oregon, 

 with a series of new moving pictures of life in the Western mountain 

 wilderness. Mr. Finley needs no introduction to Audubon Society 

 audiences. He will be present himself this year, which will give added 

 zest to the enjoyment of his adventures. Mr. Edward Avis, well known 

 for his beautiful pictures and excellent reproductions of bird music, will 

 also appear at this lecture. 



March 13th will be Roosevelt Day. The world appreciates that 

 former President Roosevelt, great in so many ways, was a naturalist of 

 distinction, especially interested in bird life. Mr. Carl E. Akeley, who 

 was with Mr. Roosevelt on his African expedition, will relate some of the 

 vivid experiences of this trip, with pictures of the African birds and 

 animals seen. Mr. George K. Cherrie will tell how Mr. Roosevelt ex- 

 plored the "River of Doubt" in the Brazilian wilderness and show pic- 

 tures of this most adventurous expedition. There will be movies of 

 President Roosevelt among the birds of our own country, and the whole 

 will make a unique and interesting afternoon. 



The last lecture of the series, March 20th, will be a great treat to all 

 lovers of the music of our common birds. The lecture will be by Mr. 

 Charles C. Gorst, whose whistling reproductions of bird music have al- 

 ways been the delight of Audubon Society audiences. Mr. Gorst comes 

 with new experiences and new ability and some very interesting pictures. 

 In addition movies will be shown of bird life amid the beautiful Adiron- 

 dack Forests. 



Admission tickets to the Course will be $2.00, single admission 75c. 

 Course tickets will be mailed to all Life and Sustaining Members of the 

 Audubon Society during the present month on approval as is our custom.
