beautiful lecture on "Hunting Wild Birds with the Camera." This was also 

 accompanied with several reels of the National Association's moving pictures. 

 In December we have the annual business meeting and give our own members 

 a chance to "speak for themselves." This meeting brings out local experiences 

 which tend to develop a growing interest in bird-study. — (Miss) Helen

Buffalo (N. Y.) Audubon Society. — Our Society celebrated its tenth 

 anniversary in June by a week-end trip to beautiful Glen Iris, on the Genesee 

 River. Ten interesting Saturday 

 afternoon trips were led by the 

 president, Edward C. Avery, during 

 the migratory season. For the fifth 

 consecutive year we issued a Bird 

 Almanac. One thousand copies were 

 printed and a considerable sum 

 added to our treasury. Articles of 

 bird interest were published through- 

 out the spring months in the Buffalo 

 Sunday Express. As a Society we 

 contributed to the Roosevelt 

 Memorial. 



A number of members enjoyed 

 feeding the Chickadees, Nuthatches, 

 and Woodpeckers in Delaware Park 

 during the winter. The Chickadees 

 were so tame that they fed from 

 the hand. "High Dive," the name 

 given an adventurous Red-headed 

 Woodpecker, the special pet of a 

 member of our Society, has returned 

 to the same location for the second 

 year. He amuses spectators by div- 

 ing from a tree and catching nut-meats thrown up to him. 



We are planning to place feeding-stations in each of the large parks, also to 

 feed the Gulls on Niagara River this winter. An important aim of our Audubon 

 Society is to have a bird-sanctuary near Buffalo. — (Mrs.) C. M. Wilson, 

 Secretary.
