Editorial 



The Bulletin goes to Press in Lake 

 County, the northeasternmost coun- 

 ty in Illinois. It is a pleasant corn- 

 er, but it is the very last one in the 

 state into which Spring looks as she 

 invades the northland. As her suc- 

 cessive isotherms loop their way 

 northward they are retarded along 

 the shore line of Lake Michigan and 

 the bend of each isotherm is well up 

 in Wisconsin before its influence is 

 felt along Lake County's shore line. 

 Thus it happens that our observers 

 in southern Illinois are putting down 

 nesting records and family flights' 

 while, the Editor is thrilling at so 

 early a stage of migration as the ar- 

 rival of the Hermit Thrush and the 

 Myrtle Warbler. Hazel catkins and 

 the first hepaticas in northeastern 

 Illinois, shadbush, sassafras and 

 flowering dogwood in southern Illi- 

 nois. To such climatic diversities 

 dees the Bulletin endeavor to min- 

 ister. So here are Spring greetings 

 of a kind to its readers whether 

 they look out upon elms with swol- 

 len brown blossoms or in full leaf, 

 whether they are following the rear 

 guard of the warblers or anticipat- 

 ing the van. May there be good 

 hunting with glass and notebook 

 and camera.
