scorpions, snakes, ground squirrels, and butterflies, as well as birds, are 
some of the most fascinating I have ever seen. They will be shown at a 
meeting of the Chicago Ornithological Society at the Eleanor Club in the 
Stevens Building, eight o’clock P.M., April 15. There is no admission 
charge to these meetings and visitors are cordially invited.

Annual Spring Bird Hikes 
THE SECRETARY will be pleased to conduct for the third consecutive spring 
migration season a series of hikes through Lincoln Park on each Saturday 
morning, beginning April 5 and concluding May 24, with the exception of 
May 10. Hikers will meet at the office of the Society, 2001 North Clark 
Street, at 7:45 A.M. A slight change in itinerary will be made in the 
interest of increasing the list of birds observed. The group will circle 
south through the Park as before, then turn north, visiting the garden 
sanctuary, Diversey harbor, Belmont harbor, Addison bird sanctuary, and 
continue to Montrose harbor, where we hope to add shore birds to our list 
of observations. The party will disband here instead of returning to the 
Academy of Sciences. The exception of May 10 is made because of the 
scheduled trip of the Society to Quincy, Illinois, on that day. 
We hope for a fine reunion of former hikers, and we welcome all 
interested, new or experienced. Bring field glasses if you have them, and 
pencils. Paper for your observations will be furnished. We saw 82 birds 
last season. Let’s make it 100 this year.

Spring Meeting at Quincy 
THE ILLINOIS AUDUBON SOCIETY is pleased to announce its second annual 
spring week-end trip for bird study. The meetings will be held May 10 
and 11, and this year we are to be the fortunate guests of Dr. T. E. 
Musselman of Quincy, Illinois. 
Dr. Musselman is a Director of the Audubon Society and a well known 
ornithologist and conservationist. He is planning a week-end that no one 
can afford to miss. Full details will be mailed to each member of the 
Society (are your dues paid?) in due season. If you were one of the lucky 
ones to be the guests of the Illinois Natural History Survey at Havana 
last year you will want to continue “tripping” with the Audubon Society. 
If you were missing last year don’t let it happen again. See Illinois and 
the birds of Illinois with the Illinois Audubon Society.

THE AUDUBON Nature Camp at Todd Wildlife Sanctuary, Muscungus Bay, 
Maine, was filled to capacity this season during its five two-week periods. 
Since the camp was first opened in 19386, a total of 985 teachers, youth 
leaders, research workers and hobbyists have attended from 37 states, four 
Canadian provinces and one European country. A similar camp is to be 
established in California not later than the summer of 1942.
