Annual Meeting at Havana 
THE DIRECTORS of the Illinois Audubon Society have for years deplored the 
fact that our meetings have all been held at Chicago and that they consisted 
almost exclusively of a lecture each time. The down-state members were in 
that way almost completely ruled out from participation. To remove this 
handicap and to renew and increase interest in the Society and its work we 
are this year making an innovation that should appeal to all members of 
the Society, whether they live in the Chicago area or in the central and 
southern parts of the state. We are going to hold a meeting on Saturday, 
April 138, at Havana, on the Illinois River, south of Peoria. The river here 
is the great highway and flyway for the principal army of waterfowl] that 
breeds in Canada and winters in our southern states. Near Havana the 
Illinois State Natural History Survey has a fine laboratory which will be 
placed at our disposal for the meeting, as well as the yacht which they use 
for bird protection and research. Members of the Survey, which is under the 
director of Dr. H. Frison, will be present to make our meeting as interesting 
and successful as possible. Saturday will be devoted to the reading of papers, 
to talks, discussions, and business. Excursions into the neighborhood will be 
made on Sunday. 
Now it is incumbent on every member of the Society to make a deter- 
mined effort to be at Havana April 13 and 14. Bring one or several friends 
along to join us in this new program.

Bird Trips in Lincoln Park 
THE SECRETARY, Miss Doris A. Plapp, wishes to announce that trips will 
be taken this spring during the months of April and May to study birds in 
Lincoln Park. All interested will meet at the Academy of Sciences, 2001 
North Clark St., promptly at 8 o’clock on Saturday mornings. Bring field 
glasses if you have them and pencils to keep track of observations. We hope 
to renew acquaintances of last year’s trips and welcome new bird fans. It 
is hoped that Audubon members elsewhere in the state will conduct regular 
trips for bird study and send in their observations for publication in the 
Bulletin. Let us hear from many parts of the state.

A CORDIAL invitation has been received from the Indiana Audubon Society 
to attend their annual meeting and participate in the program which is 
being arranged for that occasion. The meeting will be held at Turkey Run 
State Park on Saturday and Sunday, May 3-4. We hope that a large number 
of our members will accept this opportunity to become better acquainted 
with our neighbors.
