Bird - Lore 



The most successful field-trip was that to Pequea on the Susquehanna 

 River. This annual pilgrimage was made at the height of the wave of migrants,

 guides. This has resulted in a continual chain of blessings, the results of which 

 are beyond computation. — Lilian W. Pierce, Secretary.

 sports in that beautiful country; several other evenings of nature-study films 

 by William L. and Irene Finley; an illustrated lecture by Charles N. Shoffner, 

 of the Liberty Bell Bird Club, which our Club gave to the children of the public 

 schools; and the presentation, in a wood in Wyncote, of Mr. Shoffner's playlet, 

 The Blind Shall See,' by some of the Junior Members of the Club, which made 

 a strong appeal to the community for the protection of birds. 



A number of delightful bird-walks were taken, and in May more than eighty
