THE AUDUBON BULLETIN 



29 



rang with the songs of Meadowlarks, the low twitterings of 

 Bluebirds, and the calls of Robins. Only one incident marred 

 the morning but by its very ridiculousness it added a bit of fun 

 to our sojourn. As I stood motionless, intently regarding a 

 Meadowlark perched on a fence post some distance away I felt 

 something rubbing against my legs. I glanced down and to my 

 chagrin beheld two cats at my feet. These members of the 

 feline family proved very friendly and very adhesive; in fact 

 they stuck to me all morning. So you can picture me eagerly 

 scrutinizing every bush and tree with two hungry and playful 

 cats trailing along in my wake.

BROWN PELICAN AT HER NEST 



An Aside 



Have you your copy of the Check List of the Birds of Illinois 

 with the colored zonal map? Perhaps some of your friends will 

 wish copies. Write the Illinois Audubon Society, 1649 10 South 

 La Salle Street, Chicago. The Check List sells for fifty cents a 

 copy.
