Mr. Galbreath arranged a meeting of interested groups in Springfield in 
March, 1959, to discuss what could be done to save the prairie chicken in 
Illinois, and acted as chairman of the meeting. At his suggestion the Illinois 
Audubon Society became sponsor of the movement. Mr. Galbreath organized 
an effort to induce the East St. Louis board of education to set aside a 
“nature area’ back of the new high school. This provides an outdoor lab- 
oratory for the students of biology. He is a member of the American Biology 
Teachers, the Natural Science Teachers of America, the Illinois Biology 
Teachers, the Illinois Audio-Visual Directors, the Nature Conservancy, the 
Illinois Audubon Society, the National Audubon Society, the Izaak Walton 
League, and the Cahokia Nature League.

Novel Nesting Site of Robins 
By Tuomas G. Scott and JAMES S. AYARS 
THIS ROBIN NEST in a discarded coal scuttle, apparently used by a hunter 
to pattern a shotgun, provides an interesting example of adjustment to an 
unusual nest location. The nest was located about 3 miles east of Urbana 
along the rights-of-way of the Illinois Central and New York Central Rail- 
roads. The nest was a minimum of one-half mile from the nearest site nor- 
mally used by nesting robins. Viewers of the photograph may be stimulated 
to apply such titles as: “Ingenuity,” “Atomic Age,” or ‘“Portent of the 
Future.”
