in the solution of others and create new problems not now an- 
ticipated; 
(2) By having the members meet together as often as possible to 
discuss results, methods and future plans and to gather inspira- 
tion from their fellows after the manner of scientific societies 
generally, in this way using the combined knowledge of the 
Association to advance the work; 
(3) By appealing for the support of Audubon Societies all over the 
country on the ground that bird banding is a bird-protection 
movement, since to an important extent, it will be possible in 
the future to substitute an examination of a live bird for the 
study of a dead one; 
(4) By ensuring as far as possible the permanence of the movement 
by means of institutional trapping stations operated by or in 
connection with Audubon Societies, Natural History Societies, 
Bird Clubs, Departments of Ornithology or Zoology at colleges 
and universities. Bird Sanctuaries, State and National Parks, 
etc., in additional to stations operated by individuals; and 
(5) By establishing a convenient local depository of all bird-banding 
records made by members (an exact copy of the same of course 
being sent to the Biological Survey) in appropriate quarters 
where they may be studied by members of the Association and 
others.

FIELD NOTES 
NOTES ON SOME NEBRASKA BIRDS OF THE WINTER OF 1921-22 
Subsequent to the several records already published of the occur- 
rence of the Magpie in unusual numbers in southeastern Nebraska dur- 
ing the fall of 1921, Mr. H. Ohler of Lincoln, reported seeing several of 
these birds at Pleasant Dale on November 20, and during December there 
were other additional records. The flock of Magpies near Pairbury were 
yet there on January 8, 1922, associating with crows and apparently on 
the best of terms with them, according to Mrs. H. F. Hole of that city. 
Along with the Magpie has come an invasion, to a less marked de- 
gree, by the Pinyon Jay. Dr. R. H. Wolcott had reported to him, and 
personally verified it, the occurrence of one of these birds north of Lin- 
coln, on November 24, 1921. Under date of January 22, 1922, Mrs. Ralph 
Pembroke of Haiward, Nebraska, writes that one of these birds has been 
present about the town of Harvard since late in November, 1921, and 
that on January 15, 1922, a flock of ten or twelve of these birds was seen 
there. 
Three individuals of the Bohemian Waxwing were noted by R. W. 
Dawson at Lincoln on November 6, 1921, but the species was not sub- 
sequently noted. On January 28, 1922, however, C. A. Black reported 
them as present in abundance at Kearney, Buffalo county.
