North American Nest Record Card Program 
As many readers are aware, the Nest Record Card Program is now 
completing its third year on a continent-wide basis. We appreciate 
the assistance of the hundreds of persons and bird clubs whose en- 
thusiasm and patience make this program possible. We are anxious 
to solicit help from as many clubs and cooperators as we can find. 
Before the new nesting season begins (in short, now), we urge all 
present contributors to return completed cards for 1967. Nesting 
reports for 1968 will be channelled through the Illinois State Museum 
in Springfield. However, if you still have N.A.N.R.C.P. Cards for 
1967, please send your data in at once to Mrs. Edith Edgerton, c/o Nest
