Annual Meeting 



The Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the 

 National Association of Audubon Societies 

 will be held in the American Museum of 

 Natural History, New York City, on 

 Tuesday, October 26, 1920. 



As usual, a public meeting with attrac- 

 tive program and moving pictures is being 

 planned for the preceding evening. It is 

 hoped that all members who find it con- 

 venient to do so will attend the various 

 sessions. 



The past year has been one of marked 

 progress in all lines of activity in which the 

 Association's efforts extend. Interest in 

 bird-study and bird-protection throughout 

 the country is constantly increasing, and 

 it will be a source of great pleasure to many 

 to learn of the accomplishments, not only 

 of the National Association, but of its 

 numerous affiliated groups of workers in 

 the United States and Canada. 



Bird Lectures for Florida 



Members and friends of the Association 

 who live in Florida, or who go there for 

 the winter, will be interested in learning 

 that Norman McClintock, of Pittsburgh, 

 will be available for lecture engagements 

 in that state for a few months beginning 

 January, 1921.

Mr. McClintock and his moving pictures 

 are already well known to many Florida 

 avidiences. During the past summer he has 

 been engaged in taking additional pictures 

 of Florida wild bird-life. Especially has 

 he been successful in photographing the 

 marvelous abundance of wild life which' is 

 found at that season on the National 

 Association's reservation in Orange Lake. 



In addition to general views, he has 

 made many close-up studies of Little Blue 

 Herons, White Ibises, Water Turkeys, and 

 both species of the exquisite white Egrets. 

 To view the intimate home life of these 

 birds, which most people see only as they 

 wing their way across some distant pond 

 or prairie, will be a most unusual oppor- 

 tunity. The pictures, combined with Mr. 

 McClintock's well-known abilities as a 

 pleasing speaker, make of his entertain- 

 ments occasions that linger long in the 

 memory. 



Members of the Association and others 

 in the state are invited to correspond with 

 Mr. McClintock.or with the home ofhce in 

 New York City with a view of making local 

 arrangements to secure Mr. McClintock's 

 lectures. There are a hundred and twenty- 

 five moving-picture houses in Florida, and 

 it should not be difficult in almost any 

 community to secure the use of a moving- 

 picture machine and operator for such an 

 occasion.
