a few Audubon Bird Sanctuary signs will do toward creating this very desirable 

 atmosphere. 



In the following pages we will find discussed some of the more interesting 

 birds of the fairways and the rough and then some methods of feeding and 

 planting that will attract other species about the Club-house or the shelters 

 where they can be observed at leisure and at close range. 



During the winter, when other life is dormant, feeding shelves maintained 

 at the Club-house window or at favored spots about the course, will not only 

 provide interest to the guests but will help save the lives of some of our most 

 valuable birds such as the Chickadees, Nuthatches and Woodpeckers and will 

 doubtless encourage them to remain for the summer and raise their families 

 nearby. 



At the end of this pamphlet will be found certain definite suggestions as to 

 procedure in making a bird-sanctuary of a golf course. There is no great effort 

 entailed and if members of the Greens Committee are at all familiar with birds 

 and their requirements, this Committee may well serve as a Sanctuary Commit- 

 tee. With many clubs, however, it has proven more satisfactory for the Presi- 

 dent to appoint a Bird Sanctuary Committee of persons already having some 

 knowledge of birds. They work in conjunction with the Greens Committee and 

 formulate plans best suited to local conditions. If the Chairman of the Commit- 

 tee will immediately get in touch with the Golf Club Bird Sanctuary Commit- 

 tee of the National Association of Audubon Societies we will be glad to give 

 further information and assistance.
