Chicago Area Bird Walks 
VISITORS AND GUESTS who come to the Museum for the Audubon Screen 
Tours often stop at our literature desk after the movie and ask, “Can we 
join you on your bird walks?” And we always must give the same reply: 
“The Illinois Audubon Society sponsors no winter bird walks. But if you 
want to go birding in the Chicago area, we advise you to call the Chicago 
Ornithological Society.” 
Since some of our members in the northern Illinois area might be un- 
able to attend the Museum lectures and thus hear first-hand of the bird 
walk schedule, we are printing below the full program of C. O. S. hikes 
for the coming year.
