LISTEN, THE RED-EHYED VIREO, by Milton White. Introductory poem by 
Ogden Nash. 96 p. Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York. 
1961. $2.75. 
While not a serious contribution to ornithology, this book is one of in- 
terest to all “bird-watchers.” The introductory satire by Ogden Nash sets 
the pace for the text which follows. Here is an opportunity for us to follow 
humorously a young professor through his first associations with bird- 
watchers and their organization. The descriptions of people, events, equip- 
ment, and activities are presented with the wit of a person who has experi- 
enced them himself. The book offers a wonderful opportunity for us to 
laugh at some of our experiences and perhaps ourselves. However, I hope 
that this is not the only picture of bird-watching and ornithology that is 
presented to the public.

Help Your Society Now ... and in the Future 
The many activities of the Illinois Audubon Society are made pos- 
sible by your membership dues, donations, and bequests. The in- 
come from an endowment fund built up by contributions and life 
memberships helps to carry out our educational, scientific, and con- 
servation work. 
Recognizing the importance of continuing these endeavors, some 
members have made or plan to make bequests to the Society in 
their wills. Contributions may be made in money, securities, or 
property suitable for wildlife sanctuaries. Monetary bequests are in- 
vested in a competently-managed fund that will assure the Society's 
future. The contributions are deductible for tax purposes. The fol- 
lowing form is suitable for most occasions: 
"| give and bequeath the sum of ____ dollars to the Illinois 
Audubon Society, Roosevelt Road and Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, 
to be used by the Society to further the purposes for which it 
is organized."
