Illinois Bird Clubs 
During the last year the Illinois Audubon Society has been trying to 
bring up to date its files on the numerous bird clubs in Illinois and other 
nature societies which include birds as one of their major interests. We 
are well aware that the following list is incomplete. One of the reasons for 
publishing it is the hope that any organizations not included will write us 
and that the clubs listed will report to us any changes in officers. Many 
garden clubs are included in the I.A.S. membership, and we also would 
like to hear from them. 
We will be happy to send suggestions for organizing a bird club and 
cooperate with any group in initial organization work in any city that does 
not have a local club. In the following list the asterisks indicate that the 
clubs or one or more of their officers are I.A.S. members:
