. Golf clubs as bird sanctuaries. Birds; Golf courses. Photo by E. Heim EVERY GOLF COURSE A BIRD-SANCTUARY The majority of Golf Courses in this country are ideally situated for giving sanctuary to birds at but little expense to the Club and with wo inconvenience to the game. A Golf Course that includes a small woodlot or group of trees where elderberries or dogwoods are encouraged to grow; that permits a few thorn-apples or flowering crabs to remain in the rough, with a mulberry tree or hackberry here and there; that has a dead tree or two or some dead branches or fence-posts for the Woodpeckers and other hole-nesting species, and that has a spring or a water-hazard somewhere within flying dis- tance, is an ideal bird-sanctuary. Those that are lacking in any of these features can provide, with comparatively little expense, substitutes that will be equally attractive and, in a compar- atively short time, build up a bird-population that will rival that of any bird-sanctuary in the country. Realizing the natural adaptability of the Golf Course to the requirements of a bird-sanctuary, and largely in response to requests for further information and assistance from the officers of over one hundred Golf Clubs, the following pam- phlet has been prepared. It is intended to show in as graphic a manner as possible the desirability of encouraging birds about Golf Courses and the simple way by which the happy results may be attained. Page 5.
