I. A. 8. Spring Field Trip 
THE ANNUAL FIELD TRIP of the Society will be held this year in conjunction 
with the Tri-City Bird Club in Rock Island and Moline, Illinois; the date 
is April 18 and 19. The meeting will begin with an afternoon session in 
the Davenport Public Museum (just across the Mississippi from Rock 
Island) at 2:00 o’clock on Saturday. A dinner and an evening program 
will follow. On Sunday morning, a hike is planned along the river in 
the Thompson-Savannah area; Canada, blue, snow and possibly white- 
fronted geese may be seen here, as well as shore birds. Members are 
urged to bring their cameras, binoculars and enthusiasm. The field trip 
will end in plenty of time to allow members from the eastern half of the 
state to drive home in daylight. 
Reservations for the dinner must be made before April 4. Send your 
request with $2.50 for each person to Mr. Franklin McVey, 5845 Kingsdale 
Ave., Chicago 30, Illinois. Please indicate whether you will want hotel or 
motel accommodations, as reservations must be made in advance with 
Mr. Elton Fawks of the Tri-City Bird Club. Several bird groups from 
Iowa have also been invited to attend. Members from such inland areas 
as Rockford, Springfield and Princeton should find the Tri-City region 
especially interesting from a birder’s standpoint; and the Tri-City Bird 
Club, one of the most active groups in the state, is working hard to provide 
a varied and enjoyable program. Members, the rest of it is up to you. 
Bird Walks in Chicago Parks 
Miss Doris PLapp, former Secretary of the Society, will resume her series 
of spring bird walks in Lincoln Park this year. Groups will meet at the 
Totem Pole at the foot of Addison Street, near the Outer Drive, on Satur- 
day mornings at 7:30. The first hike is scheduled for March 21, and addi- 
tional walks will be held each Saturday morning until May 23. Miss Plapp 
had led these walks for more than ten years; when she was unable to 
come out last spring because of illness, Mr. Harold Lenz filled in during 
her absence. We are happy that Miss Plapp can be back, and we send 
Mr. Lenz our thanks for a job well done.
