A dinner such as this would be inconceivable today. Such wild game is no 
longer abundant and the former hunting grounds have now become factories, 
towns, homes and offices. This Menu (longer in the original) was made

(ihesGntistmas bird Census — L958 
By Paut H. LoBik 
It Is TIME AGAIN to prepare for our regular Christmas Bird Census. This 
year we plan to drop the complicated tabular summary used for the past 
five Censuses and will go back to the simpler verbal report form. If you 
are using the forms sent out by the National Audubon Society, it will be 
necessary for you to type a separate report for the BULLETIN. 
See the “Supplementary Reports” given after the Census Table in the 
March, 1958 issue for the arrangement to be followed. Briefly, we must 
have the name of the area covered (preferably a circle 15 miles in dia- 
meter), a brief description of the terrain, the date, time (at least eight 
daylight hours), weather, wind, temperature, ground conditions, number 
of observers, number of parties, party-hours, and party-miles on foot or by 
car. Next should come the name and count of each species seen, in A.O.U. 
order, please, followed by the total of species and the total individual birds. 
The names of all participants and the compiler follow next, with comments 
on unusual records at the end. 
Reports should be mailed before January 31, 1959 to Paul H. Lobik, 
Editor, 22W681 Tamarack Drive, Glen Ellyn, Illinois. Do not under any 
circumstances send your reports to the Chicago Natural History Museum. 
In the Chicago area, as usual, the Chicago Ornithological Society invites 
birders to participate in its Christmas Census at the Morton Arboretum on 
Sunday, Dec. 28, 1958, beginning at 9:15 a.m. The Arboretum is 23 miles 
west of Chicago on Illinois Route 53, one mile north of Lisle. Non-motorists 
may take the Burlington train from Chicago’s Union Station to Lisle. 
Motorists have an extra advantage this year: the East-West Tollway is now 
open and provides a direct route to the Arboretum. Enter Congress St. 
Expressway at First Avenue in Maywood and go straight west to Route 
' 53; the toll fee is 30c per car. Bring your lunch and binoculars. 
Other Censuses will be conducted by the Evanston Bird Club, Bureau 
Valley Audubon Club, Decatur Audubon Society, Springfield Bird Club, 
Tri-City Bird Club, and almost all of our affiliates — see the back page 
of this BULLETIN if you’d like to join a group in your area. Merry Christmas 
and good birding to all of you!
