LOVED ALL FEAtBERED FOLK
Audubon's Name lnsnortaI Because
Of His splendid Wors for Amer
~. loan Native Elrde.

John James Audubon, an American
naturalist and bird lover, who did per-
haps more than any other man to in
terest Americans in their native birds,
was born in Meadville, La, of French
parents, In 1880. He studied In
France. In 1893 he settled near Phil
adelphia, where he lived for ten
years, devoting himself to the study
OF birds. Later he spent considerable
time IN the West, wandering through
the woods In close touch with his
feathered friends. In 1926 Audubon
went to England, exhibiting his bird
drawings, which he finally published
in work containing 435 colored
plates of birds the size of life, entitled
"The Birds of America" A copy Of
this complete work today is worth
small fortune.
on his return to America Audubon
labored on an illustrated work, "rhe
Quadrupeds Of America" Audubon
never instituted any movement for the
preservation Of birds, for in his day
much of the country was wild, and
II looked as though there were no
danger of birds ever becoming extinct.
1t was his genuine love for the feath-
cred folk that caused the Audubon
society to he named for him.
The Audubon society has done much
to prevent wanton destruction and TO
create sentiment against the wear
ing Of birds and feathers on millinery.
It is largely due to Audubon societies
throughout the country that large
tracts Of ground have been set apart
as bird reservations. The national Of
ice of the organization is In New
York city.
