Audubon Sereen Tours for 1955-56 
THE ILLINOIS AUDUBON SOCIETY is happy to present a full program of five 
lectures from the National Audubon Society for the coming season. As al- 
ways, the speakers will include some of America’s best known ornithologists 
and wildlife photographers. Several of them will be welcomed back for “re- 
turn engagements.” 
The schedule will be off to a flying start on October 9 (one month earlier 
than usual — members please note) with an illustrated talk by Prof. Arthur 
A. Allen of Cornell University, who is world famous for his recordings of 
wild bird songs. As before, all of the talks will accompany color movies, 
shown in the James Simpson theater of the Chicago Natural History Mu- 
seum, Roosevelt Road and Lake Shore Drive. All talks will be Sunday 
matinees, beginning at 2:30 p.m. The usual printed announcements will be 
mailed to all members early this fall. Here is the program: 
Oct. 9, 1955: Arthur A. Allen in “Hunting with Microphone and Color 
Camera.” 
Nov. 6, 1955: Wilham H. Wagoner, Jr. in “A Touch of the Tropics.” 
Jan. 8, 1956: W. Emerson Scott in “Rocky Mountain Rambles.” 
Mar. 18, 1956: Robert P. Allen in “The Long Flight Back.” 
Apr. 22, 1956: Walter H. Shackleton in ‘Rhapsody in Bluegrass.”

Autumn Bird Watchers Still Wanted 
By JAMES H. ZIMMERMAN 
THANKS TO THE EFFORTS of more than a score of cooperators in Illinois, we 
have been receiving excellent records of bird movements through the state 
and into Wisconsin. However, we need observers during the fall, also, to 
trace the return of birds to their wintering grounds. Since less people seem 
to watch the fall migrations than in spring, we need the help of our co- 
operators more than ever. This year’s list is similar to that of Autumn, 
1954, and is different from the list requested this spring. We are especially 
anxious to receive reports from bird banders and feeding station operators, 
even for just two or three species. 
The list includes nocturnal and diurnal migrants, early and late travelers, 
solitary and flocking species — each being studied for a specific purpose. It 
is not necessary to fill in all data required for a given species; first date, 
last date, and peak date will be helpful even if numbers observed and other 
dates are not available. The more observers reporting from a single locality, 
the better. A sample of the study form may be obtained by writing to your 
Bulletin editor. Your fall reports should be sent to Mr. Chandler S. Rob- 
bins, Patuxent Research Refuge, Laurel, Maryland. Further information 
is given in the June, 1955 Bulletin.
