156 Dr. Leon Patrick—Whittier Ornithological Academy


Laveaga Collection of Waterfowl, which, by the way, is the second

largest in the world.


In deference to Mr. Kellogg’s inestimable help, the Directors of

the Foundation have decided that the 35 acre tract on which the birds

are now located shall be designated and known as The W. K. Kellogg

Bird Park.


The W. K. Kellogg Bird Park is about half-covered with timber

in its primeval state, through which runs a small stream — all of which

lends itself ideally to treatment as a park and provides most admirable

conditions for propagating the birds.


These glimpses will epitomize the set-up at the W. Iv. Kellogg Bird

Park, which is already destined to be the mecca of all bird lovers

throughout the world.


That you may have a clearer conception of the magnitude of the

J. V. de Laveaga Collection of Waterfowl, a complete list of the species

constituting it follows :—
