THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 81 



Still a third census desired is that of some definite area — as 

 40 acres, for instance — forming part of a much larger tract of 

 timber, either deciduous or evergreen. While the number of 

 birds on such an area would be far less than on an equal area of 

 mixed farm land, their correct enumeration will require con- 

 siderably more care and time. 



The above are three kinds of bird censuses considered desir- 

 able, and it is hoped that you will volunteer to take one or more 

 of them this season. In this connection we shall be very glad to 

 have a statement from you concerning any changes you may have 

 noted in the bird life of your locality, especially if your observa- 

 tions extend over a considerable number of years.

 senting the state at the annual grand American handicap to be

 the out of town delegates will have an opportunity to try out the 

 local traps. The first event in the regular tournament will start 

 Monday, April 26, at nine o'clock. The officers of the state 

 association are : H. F. Wihlon, president ; Henry Veatch, vice- 

 president, and E. A. Bean, secretary-treasurer.
