Audubon Society.-On the final field
place May Il, change was made
from Black Pond to Spring Hill and
Its vicinity on account of the high
water. There were forty bird OBJ
servers on the trip and the record of
the day was the observation and
identification of eighty species of
birds. some of them summer residents
and others migrants tarrying for a
day or two on their way northward.
There was observed an unusual num-
ber of species of the general family
of warblerS. Many of these birds
seemingly are making their way to
the north much more slowly than usual
on account of the cold weather, which
naturally has checked the flights.

attended by more than 100 persons

every trip afield: Mrs. Howard Ball
