16 THE AUDUBON BULLE Ties 
Garden Club, The Crystal Lake Garden Club, Arden Shore Camp and 
the Nature Lore Institute. 
One of the principal activities of the Evanston Club is its Spring Bird 
Walks, which are taken regularly every week from April to June, and 
more frequently during the height of the migration. These walks are 
announced in the local papers and anyone interested is invited to join the 
group. This year a colony of Black-crowned Night Herons was dis- 
covered not far from the outskirts of Evanston. 
Picnics are sometimes indulged in as the weather grows warmer, and 
occasionally week end trips. This year in early May, a week end motor 
trip to Turkey Run State Park, Indiana, was taken by a small group 
from the club which proved most enjoyable. The park was in the height 
of its beauty, and proved a happy hunting ground for Warblers—even the 
rare Cerulean being listed for the first time by old bird lovers. 
The club makes an annual gift to the Evanston Public Library for 
the purchase of Bird books or pictures and at the proper time in the 
Spring a special display of these things is made. 
Audubon Bulletins have many times been distributed to members. 
This season “Birds of Illinois” published by the Department of Con- 
servation at Springfield was made use of in this way. 
THE PRAIRIE CLUB 
Probably no out-of-door organization in and around Chicago, is 
better known than the Prairie Club. Originating as a hiking club, it is 
still best known by its Saturday Walks and week-end trips. Anyone is 
welcome on these outings who loves the open air and is willing to don 
walking togs—including stout boots. 
Every available stretch of Lake Shore, Skokie and Forest Preserve 
woodland has been covered at one time or another by this energetic 
group. What can be better calculated to inspire a love of the out-door 
world in its “‘various language”’ than this intimate contact with it? 
The Prairie Club Bulletin itself is enough to kindle the imagination 
of any lover of nature and is easy to read from cover to cover. Mr. 
Thomas W. Allinson carries the banner for conservation, and one needs 
but to follow his notes in each issue, to keep in touch with the latest 
developments along this line. 
THE FRIENDS OF OUR NATIVE LANDSCAPE 
The Friends of Our Native Landscape which is an ever expanding 
organization, is led by that human dynamo of friendliness, idealism and 
passionate love of the landscape of primitive America—Jens Jensen. He 
keeps the fires of enthusiasm burning, and never ceases to preach the 
much needed gospel of appreciation of “America the beautiful.” . 
A long cherished dream of the “Friends” came true this year in the
