28 THE VAY Ut DAU BeOiN= Baus Peele 
For Bird-Watching Browsers 
We are seeking to elicit a positive response from that native Illinois species, 
the Bird-watching Browser .. . often classified as the Arm-chair Ornitho- 
logist, Avespyer bookwormii. This species prefers to tramp the fields and 
hills of the Prairie State, seeking glimpses of feathered friends. At intervals, 
however, he is inclined to fortify his observations with generous doses of 
the written word, as found in The Audubon Bulletin and weightier volumes. 
At the climax of his seasonal migrations, this species descends upon an 
I. A.S. Annual Meeting or a Fall Camp-Out and purchases new sustenance 
at book tables manned by one LeRoy tunstalliensis. When this activity is 
to be pursued at a distance, however, the Bird-watching Browser is hereby 
advised to obtain his supplies from the new mail-order source: Peter Dring, 
c/o I. A. S. Bookstore, 9800 S. Willow Springs Road, Willow Springs, [Illinois 
60480. He should make his checks payable to The Illinois Audubon Society 
and add 25¢ for postage to each order. His selection may be made from the
