Bird —The Club has had some interesting meetings dur-ing the past year, the best of which was an illustrated lecture-recital by EdwardAvis, bird mimic. We were unfortunate with the spring bird-walks. Again andagain they were scheduled, and all plans made for a picnic or other out-of-doors jaunt, when the day would bring only rain, rain, rain. One wondered ifso much cloudy weather during the migration would not cause unusual loss ofbird-life. Several interesting visits were made to Briar Bush, the home of a member,a log-cabin set in a clearing of woods, where everything possible is done toattract birds, and where more birds are to be seen to the acre than at any otherplace we have found.
