Club Notes 



Sixteen meetings were held during the year, the average 

 attendance being 23.93, this being the nearest approach to an 

 average of 24 possible, for if one member had attended one 

 meeting, at which he was marked absent, the average would 

 have been exactly 24. It should be noted that this is the aver- 

 age attendance of members only ; if visitors were included the 

 attendance would average over 25. Twenty-four is the highest 

 average the Club has had and was reached in the years 1905, 

 1906, and 1907.

The first outing of the Club for the year was taken along the 

 valley of the Crum Creek, Pa. February 22nd, 1915. The day 

 was warm and fair. Two visitors and sixteen members were 

 present and twenty-five species of birds were observed. 



The Good Friday outing, April 2nd, 1915, was a walk to 

 Bear Swamp and a visit to Camp Catoxen near Medford, N. J. 

 Eighteen members and visitors participated. Thirty species of 

 birds were observed, among them a host of Ked-winged Black- 

 birds. Fifty thousand was the conservative estimate determined 

 upon by all. The flock which was nearly two miles long, was 

 flying southeast. Later it was suggested that these birds were 

 going south because of the snowstorm, which occurred on the 

 following day, accumulating fourteen inches of snow by 5:00 

 p. m. 



May 30th, 1915 was the date of the third Club outing taken 

 in the vicinity of Rushland, Pa. along the Neshaminy Valley. 

 Two visitors and fifteen members were present. Sixty-four 

 species of birds were observed, including the Upland Plover and
