The Audubon Section, Peoria Academy of Science, recently contributed $120.00

efforts of Mr. John Findlay and Mr. J. W. Swanstrom, Jr.) from contributions 
made by members and friends through the distribution of 65 cases of parakeet 
Seed which had been donated by a local firm, (Note sent in by Elizabeth C.

ICELAND TOUR FOR BIRDERS is now being offered; will leave New York City July 1 
and includes a Scottish Bird Islands Study Cruise with top birders James Fisher 
and Roger Tory Peterson along. Return July 23. Send inquiries to Clara Laughlin 
Travel Services, 667 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10021. (Editor's Note: I've

Valley, with occasional sorties elsewhere, but close.) If you can't afford 
this exciting Iceland and Scottish trip, why not join your local group for some 
intensive birding closer to home? Keep good notes and send to Elton Fawks all 
your unusual records and get them published in the BULLETIN, 
SHORT-EARED OWLS settled in an Open area near a northwest suburb, Acting on 
reports that these birds had made a pass at a small poodle and som smal] 
children, police officers promptly shot two of them. A local Audubon member 
protested and the police said they would desist, Actually, these owls are 
quite friendly and Someone, in ignorance got hysterical, leading to a pretty sad 
episode, (Abstracted from Newsletter of the Audubon Society of Park Ridge,
