Bird - Lore 



cover approximately the entire field of bird-conservation activities. In read- 

 ing these reports, the interest that has developed in the establishment of bird- 

 sanctuaries is especially noteworthy. A few of these recently set aside may be 

 mentioned: In Florida there is, at Fort Myers, the Julia Hanson Bird Reserva- 

 tion. Recently the entire community of Winter Park, Fla., was made a bird 

 sanctuary. Indiana reports a sanctuary established near Muncie and also the 

 creation of a new State Park known as McCormick's Creek Canyon Bird 

 Reservation. Then there is the 25 acre sanctuary at Beaver, Pa., established 

 in March by the efforts of the Beaver Field and Audubon Club. The Rocka- 

 way Branch of the National Association has access to the Sosiego Bird Sanc- 

 tuary near that place. 



Every little while we are hearing of new bird-havens, and we hope that as 

 others are established they may be reported promptly, in order that the entire 

 list may be prepared for publication. 



In our legislative work and in all educational efforts we have found the 

 affiliated organizations ever ready, with rare enthusiasm and intelligence, to 

 carry the battle in their respective regions. 



We have been much interested in an ingenious device invented by Dr. A, 

 D. Pentz to train Sea Gulls to indicate the presence of enemy submarines 

 and thus aid in the national defense.
