[lhnois Bird Sanctuary List 
By RAYMOND MOSTEK 
AS FAR AS WE KNOW, there is no existing list of bird sanctuaries in Illinois. 
Mrs. C. F. Russell of the Decatur Audubon Society has set about to correct 
this situation. All state parks, state forests, county parks and city parks 
are normally considered bird sanctuaries, as no hunting is permitted on 
those grounds. If you are aware of a parcel of land which has been set 
aside in Illinois by an individual or an organization and classified by them 
as a “bird sanctuary,” please send the name of the sponsoring group or 
individual, plus the name, location and the size of the sanctuary, to Mrs. 
C. F. Russell, Decatur Audubon Society, Box 287, Deeatur, Ill. Your help 
will be appreciated. |
