Reports of State Societies and Bird Clubs 437 



President, Arthur H. Norton; Secretary, Miss Amy Wiswell; Treasurer, 

 Herbert M. W. Haven. Fifteen new members were taken into the Society at 

 this meeting, and it is well on its way to a prosperous year. During the past 

 two years, due to war activities all business and interests of the Society were 

 laid aside, but it is now taking a new lease of life. 



The accompanying pictures, taken by the Association's field agent, Arthur 

 H. Norton, show No. i, George E. Cushman, our local State and National 

 Association of Audubon Societies' warden, feeding wild Black Ducks at Martin's 

 Point Bridge, Portland, Maine, with feed furnished by the Society; No. 2, 

 Black Ducks at Martin's Point Bridge coming to corn, also furnished by our 

 Society. — Herbert M. W. Haven, Treasurer. 



Elgin (111.) Audubon Society. — Our Society now has a membership of 231, 

 which is a gain of in in the past year. During the last week in April we held 

 our annual free exhibit, at which it was estimated we had at least 3,000 inter- 

 ested visitors. Our main work of the year has been, and still is, earning money 

 to repair the city museum, which the new City Council has turned over to the 

 use of the Society. In August we had a tag day which netted over $500, and 

 this fall we plan to raise at least $400 more. 



A lecture by Dr. Carpenter was given in the spring, and one Sunday after- 

 noon the slides of the Illinois Audubon Society were shown and the accompany- 

 ing lecture given. Most of the schools in the city have Junior Audubon Socie- 

 ties, and we hope by this time next year to say that every school has. Regular 

 meetings are held throughout the year on the second Friday of the month, 

 preceded by a cafeteria supper during the winter months and a picnic in the 

 woods during the summer. — (Miss) Charlotte Weatherill, Secretary. 



Erasmus Hall Audubon Bird Club. — During the past year the Club has 

 been active in establishing feeding-stations in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, where 

 the greater part of our field-work is conducted. The Club has held two school 

 contests — an essay and poster contest respectively — on the subject of bird- 

 protection. The winners, Miss Kathleen Kennedy and Miss Margaret Henschen 

 received school medals. A bird-book was awarded to the student submitting 

 the longest verified list of birds seen from April i to May 15. On the whole, the 

 work of the past term has been most successful. — Marion Deghuee, Secre- 

 tary. 



Greystone Park (N. J.) Bird Club. — Our Club was organized in March, 

 1919, by the President, Robert Emmet Cooney, and the Secretary, Prince 

 Michael of Saxony, who were its first two members. In a short time the Club 

 numbered over 200 members. 



Over a hundred bird-houses were constructed and painted by members of 

 the Club and were placed in various parts of Greystone Park, Morris Plains,
