Editorial 

The Bulletin goes to Press in Lake 
County, the northeasternmost coun- 
ty in Illinois. It is a pleasant corn- 
er, but it is the very last one in the 
state into which Spring looks as she 
invades the northland. As her suc- 
cessive isotherms loop their way 
northward they are retarded along 
the shore line of Lake Michigan and 
the bend of each isotherm is well up 
in Wisconsin before its influence is 
felt along Lake County’s shore line. 
Thus it happens that our observers 
in southern Illinois are putting down 
nesting records and family flights 
while the Editor is thrilling at so 
early a stage of migration as the ar- 
rival of the Hermit Thrush and the 
Myrtle Warbler. Hazel catkins and 
the first hepaticas in northeastern 
Illinois, shadbush, sassafras and 
flowering dogwood in southern IIli- 
nois. To such climatic diversities 
dces the Bulletin endeavor to min- 
ister. So here are Spring greetings 
of a kind to its readers whether 
they look out upon elms with swol- 
len brown blossoms or in full leaf, 
whether they are following the rear 
guard of the warblers or anticipat-. 
ing the van. May there be good 
hunting with glass and notebook 
and camera.
