several reels of delightful movies in color taken by members of the Beaty- 
Offield scientific expedition to Arizona. They included pictures of birds, 
reptiles, insects, cacti, and the picturesque hills of the Southwest, and were 
accompanied by an entertaining running comment by Mr. Wright. 
At eight o’clock some of our hosts kindly transported us in their cars 
back to the station, where the Zephyr promptly picked us up and carried 
us on the return journey. We wish to acknowledge gratefully the thought- 
fulness and kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Baroody and their friends in Savanna 
in arranging and conducting so successful an outing, and of Mr. Wright 
in showing the films. We also wish to thank Mr. Beaty for driving all 
the way with the reels and projector. 
The birds observed during the day were as follows: cormorant, black 
duck, red-tailed hawk, red-shouldered hawk, red-bellied woodpecker, downy 
woodpecker, bluejay, crow, chickadee, titmouse, white-breasted nuthatch, 
cedar waxwing, starling, English sparrow, meadowlark, red-winged black-

Coming Lectures 
THE MEMBERS and friends of the Illinois Audubon Society are to have an 
opportunity to hear two interesting lectures this season and it will be a 
cause for regret if you fail to attend either of them. 
Friday evening, December 6, the speaker will be Dan McCowan, F.Z.S., 
of Banff, Alberta, Canada and his subject “A Naturalist in the Canadian 
Rockies.” It deals with the natural history and scenic beauty of the region 
around Banff and Lake Louise and will be illustrated by many fine pictures 
in color. The bird life of the district will be given particular emphasis and 
we can promise you a very pleasant evening. The lecture will be given at 
the Chicago Academy of Sciences at eight o’clock. 
Monday evening, February 3, the speaker will be Dr. Olin Sewall 
Pettingill, Jr., instructor in zoology at Carleton College, Northfield, Minn. 
and instructor in ornithology at the University of Michigan Biological 
Station. His lecture, appropriately called “Birds that Haunt the Water- 
ways,” will be illustrated by motion pictures in natural color and will cover 
a range from Maine, Michigan and Minnesota to Louisiana and Florida. 
Those who heard Dr. Pettingill when he spoke before the Society last year 
will not willingly miss him this time. This lecture also will be given at 
the Chicago Academy of Sciences at eight o’clock. 
The usual post card notices will be sent to our members and it will be 
definitely your loss if you are not present at both of these offering's.
