The food was excellent, and we all had very good places to sleep. Much 
credit for the fine accommodations and genei'al good times go to the untiring 
efforts put forth by the Tri-City Bird Club. Saturday evening we enjoyed 
a two-hour program. Among the speakers were Paul Downing, President of 
the Illinois Audubon Society, Ray Mostek and Elton Fawks. Conservation 
was stressed. A slide show with sound effects, titled, “In Quest of the Rose- 
ate Spoonbill” was given by Bob Trial and Ted Greer. Edwin Meyer, of 
Davenport, showed movies of the bald eagles that winter in this area, a 
most interesting and clever film showing how they capture their prey. Mrs. 
Shaw, of Sterling, had a surprise showing of Kirtland warbler slides she 
had taken with a Balscope Sr. telescope. These slides were excellent. The 
meeting closed with a film on the habits of the flamingo. 
Birding was unusually good. During the two days a total of 92 varieties 
was observed. Thanks to Peter Petersen, Jr., we know just where to find 
the birds. Of special interest was the hawk flight. Better than 200 were seen 
in one flock. There were many flocks of from two to three dozen. These were 
mostly broad-winged, with a lesser number of red-shouldered hawks. 
Sunday we traveled to Savanna, stopping enroute at the many good bird- 
ing places. We enjoyed our sack lunches amid the beauty of the Palisades 
and shortly bade farewell to our friends, old and new, with the hope that 
we will be seeing each other next Campout!
