And, finally, our habit of keeping an eye on this corner of the park 
from our sun-parlor windows was responsible for our second “‘find”’ of 
the season. It was a Sunday morning, July igth to be exact, following 
a Saturday of road-making. There in the freshly upturned soil of the 
road stood the new bird, facing us, head erect—the Prairie Horned Lark!

The July quarterly news letter of the Michigan Audubon Society 
contains many items of interest to bird lovers, not only of Michigan but 
to those of Illinois and adjoining states. 
Reports of the survey made by Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Hastings, of 
South Lyon, and Professor and Mrs. Norman L. Wood, of the University 
Museum at Ann Arbor, for the purpose of establishing a sanctuary for 
the Kirtland Warbler, is a notable effort to protect a rare species. 
A visit was made to the gull and tern colonies on Beaver Island, 
where the birds were found in fine condition, and the island was actually 
crowded by the avian population. Dr. and Mrs. Frederick C. Lincoln, of 
the United States Biological Survey, were already on the island, also Dr. 
and Mrs. Frank N. Wilson, of Ann Arbor. Michigan’s wonderful forested 
area should be an ideal breeding ground for the myriads of birds that 
visit Illinois during both the spring and fall migrations. 
The June number of the Wilson Bulletin is filled from start to finish 
with good items. Bird banding and general information about what the 
birds are doing in the territory covered by the Bulletin are treated ina 
most interesting and spritely manner. 
In ‘Notes Here and There,” delightfully intimate items are given 
describing the vocations of some of its members. What people do for 
a living is always intriguing, and to know of the perfectly fascinating 
“jobs” that some of the bird fans work at, 1s quite enlightening. Who 
would guess from Albert F. Ganier’s title that he was one of the best 
ornithologists in Tennessee or how could one tell that Brockway Crouch, 
merchant of Knoxville, would almost close up his florist shop for the day, 
if he should hear even a rumor of a new bird visiting H. P. Ijam’s bird 
sanctuary. 
In the Ohio notes one finds a banker and a dahlia expert associated 
with zoologists and other wise people. One wonders also does Dr. George 
R. Mayfield of Nashville ever forget and address the birds in German 
when listening to their songs? We shall look forward with anticipation 
to the continuation of the biographical notes.
