THE 1.A.S. CHRISTMAS BIRD CENSUS—1971 
By Paul H. Lobik 
Attention all Bird Census Compilers! The 1971 Christmas Bird 
Count Reports must be submitted to the editors on time—by 
January 15, 1972—and to the right address. Two reports went 
astray again last year. Please follow these simple rules: 
. Submit typewritten reports—NOT FIELD CARDS. 
. Include complete data—time, date, participants, AREA 
COVERED. Do NOT simply say, “same as last year.” 
. Mail PROMPTLY—as soon as possible after count day. Counts 
not received by January 18, 1972 will be omitted. 
. DON'T send Census Reports to the Field Museum, or the I.A.S. 
office, or to the Audubon Bulletin—send them to MRS. HARRY 
SPITZER, 1776 Roger Avenue, Glenview, Ill. 60025. 
HERTEL & REUSS BINOCULARS 
|.A.S. field glasses are equal in performance and durabil- 
ity to the finest models anywhere. Yet they cost less 
than half as much as comparable binoculars. They are 
produced by Hertel and Reuss of Kassel, Germany, 
leading designers and makers of quality precision in- 
struments. Illinois Audubon Society has sold these for 
18 years; this income supports our conservation projects.
