Migrants nesting and observed in and about our acre include flickers, all 
of the thrushes, the rose-breasted grosbeak, scarlet tanager, Baltimore 
oriole, humming birds, several species of vireos, phoebes, wrens, many 
warblers and a screech owl. One always knows when the screech owl is 
around by the sound of the robins. 
Well over half a ton of cheese has been consumed in four or five years. 
This feeding program was made possible by Erna and Jeanie, clerks of 
the cheese departinent of a large LaGrange super-market, who diligently 
save large quantities of unsalable cheese for me each week. The suet 
also costs nothing in the same super-market. 
We plan to install two more suet feeders. On the squirrel feeder, where 
the birds also feed, we place all the leftover rice, stale cookies, peanuts, 
bread, oats, corn and other things. Incredible quantities of edibles are con- 
sumed by our furred and feathered friends which have brought so much 
joy and amusement to our lives.

New Members Since December, 1955 
THE J.A.S. 1s PRouD to welcome another group of individuals and affiliated 
societies into the ranks of Audubon members. Our treasurer reports a 
healthy number of renewals during the past few months, with many mem- 
bers changing from active to contributing membership. Incidentally, if you 
have not already acted upon your dues notice, please do so at once and 
save the Society the expense of a second billing. 
We invite the new members to come out to our Annual Meeting (an- 
nounced elsewhere in this issue) and meet the officers and directors of the 
Society. Other activities in which you can join are the spring bird walks 
(see the announcement on page 3 of the Bulletin), the Audubon Screen 
Tours at the Chicago Museum of Natural History, and our conservation 
work — chiefiy by writing to your Congressmen and Senators. If you would 
like to help some of our committees in their work, write to one of the chair- 
men listed on the inside back cover. The more you put into a Society like 
ours, the more benefits you derive from it. 
All but one of the new members listed below come from Illinois. The 
asterisks denote contributing members.
