CATBIRDS 
Annual Outing 
HE Third Spring Outing was held in the Portage Tract of the Cook 
County Forest Preserve on Saturday, May 22nd, The date was a 
week later than usual on account of the unusually cool weather having 
retarded the migration. One hundred and five enthusiastic bird lovers 
braved adverse weather predictions for the day and all appeared well 
repaid for their venture. Not so many warblers were seen as on pre- 
vious outings, due to the advanced condition of the foliage. Among 
the high spots of the day wasa great flight of Gulls and Terns, that were 
in plain sight most of the afternoon. The Spring migration in the Chicago 
region was about normal and no diminution of any particular species 
was noted.
