The Audubon Society of the State of New Jersey, which had previously occupied the field, dissolved December 27, 1910, and the Secretary-Treasurer of that organization turned over to the new one the funds and property of her organization at the Trustees’ meeting. The New Jersey Audubon Society immediately inaugurated a campaign for increased membership, and soon after introduced in the Legislature an amendment to the plumage clause of the non-game-bird law of New Jersey. Much misunderstanding of, and opposition to, this measure had to be over- come; but it was passed in the Assembly, March 15, 1911, and by a unani- mous vote in the Senate, April 10, notwithstanding the fact that a similar bill could get but four votes a year before. The bill was signed by Governor Wilson, April 17, and became effective August 1. To secure this victory, the members of the Society and the friends of bird protection were circularized several times, as were also the members of the Legislature. Hundreds of letters were written by members and friends to their constituents, the codper- ation of women’s clubs was enlisted, and the Secretary made two trips to the state capitol, and spent several days there working for the passage of the bill. As a result of this legislation, New Jersey now ranks with New York in having one of the strongest laws for the protection of non-game birds. ever enacted. When this law went into effect, the press of the state and country was immediately flooded with misstatements regarding its effect. Corrections of these reports were at once sent out by the Secretary. The campaign for membership has been pushed as actively as possible. A number of members have been very active in this work. At the initial meet- ing of the Board of Trustees, two patrons and two life members were secured. The membership now stands as follows: patrons, 2; life members, 4; sus- taining members, 35; members, 164; associate members, 91; junior mem- bers, 773; total, 1,076. While there is reason to feel some pride and satis- faction in this number of members secured in less than a year, yet the coming year should see a much greater gain. Following the recent killing of birds in Montclair, the Society, through the Secretary, investigated the matter and gave out a statement to the press, setting forth the facts and correcting the absurd exaggerations that had gone abroad. It is also codperating with the Fish and Game Commission to secure the punishment of the man or men who violated the laws. Three meetings of the Executive Committee have been held since the Trustees’ meeting of December 29. At these meetings, the “Guide to New Jersey Birds” was authorized, and an edition of 10,000 copies, free to patrons, life members, sustaining members and members, 40 cents to associate and junior members and the trade, and 60 cents to others, will be ready for distribution October 1o. An arrangement was made to send Brrp-LoRE free to patrons, life members and sustaining members, and for 60 cents a year to other classes of membership. An exhibition at the Interstate Fair at Trenton, September 25-29, was arranged for and very successfully con- ducted. On September 28 alone, more than 50,000 people viewed an educa- tional exhibit consisting of bird-books, pictures and charts, bird-boxes, camera, opera-glasses and notebooks, with other features, including a specially valu- able demonstration of the economic value of birds, nine species being shown feeding in characteristic manner on insects, weed-seeds and mice, the group . being set off by an artistic and natural painted background. Leaflet Num- ber 1 on the Chickadee, and soliciting the support of the public, of the work of the Society, was distributed during the Fair to some seven thousand people. The Treasurer’s report shows the receipts for the year to have been $912.23, and an expenditure of $718.14, leaving a balance of $194.20. A course of lectures on the economic value of birds, by the Secretary, before Farmers’ Institutes, during November and December, has been arranged for. The Secretary also spoke on the work of the Audubon Society at the Montclair and South Orange Schools, in June. The immediate, urgent work before the Society for the coming year is the perfecting of a program of bird-study for the Associate and Junior Members, and the building up of membership. BEECHER S. BOWDISH, Secretary October 3, 1911 SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY (INCORPORATED) OCTOBER 15, 1912 Feeding a “‘Wild’’ Nuthatch. DURING THE: YEAR- ENDING OCTOBER: 15; 1912 THE NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY INCREASED ITS MEMBERSHIP From 1,076 To 10,485 q@ IT INTRODUCED BIRD STUDY INTO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF 138 TOWNS AND FORMED 411 CLASSES, TOTAL- ING 8,910 CHILDREN. THE AUDUBON PLUMAGE LAW WAS ENFORCED AND THE SALE OF WILD BIRD PLUMAGE WAS PREVENTED ANNUAL MEETING AND PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. The Second Annual Meeting of the New Jersey Audubon Society was held at the Washington, Newark, October 15, 1912. The business session was called to order at 4.15 vp. M. by President Batten, who gave an informal address touching the various phases of the Society’s work, a synopsis of which was as follows: The President was enthusiastic over the growth of the Society and congratulated the members on the increase from one thousand to ten thousand, and gave credit for the splendid work that had made the growth possible largely to the efficient Secretary. He expressed the hope that the enthusiasm would continue so that at the end of 1913 the Society might have one hundred thousand members. Reports of Secretary and Treasurer were read and accepted. The Board of Trustees was unanimously re-elected. An Auditing Committee to audit the accounts of the Treas- urer was appointed by the President, to consist of Messrs. Pear- son and Grant. The annual meeting of the Board of Trustees was held im- mediately after the meeting of the Society. All of the officers were unanimously re-elected. The membership of the Executive Committee was increased from five to six, Messrs. Miller and Nichols being elected and Messrs. Batten, Bowdish, Kuser and Grant being re-elected. The public session of the annual meeting was held at 8.00 p. M. Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, Secretary of the National Associa- tion of Audubon Societies, gave an illustrated lecture on “Audu- bon Work,” and Mr. Frank M. Chapman, Curator of Birds of the American Museum of Natural History of New York City, gave an illustrated lecture on “A Search for a Flamingo City.” J REPORT) OFISEGRETARY: C)CTOBER D5, PLO D2: The Society has made very good progress along the lines of its various activities during the second year of its*existence. It has lost a few members by death, removal and resignation, but against this loss has added 4 new Patrons, 5 Life Members, 14 Sustaining Members, gt Members, 22 Associate Members and 8,920 junior Members, making a total membership of 10,485 as against 1,076 tor October 3, 191%. There being no Legislative bills introduced by the Society, its activities in this line were confined to advocating certain desirable measures introduced by the Fish and Game Commission and opposing some undesirable bills. On February 13, 1912, circular letters were mailed to the members of the Society asking their influence with representatives in Senate and Assembly as follows: Endorsing Senate Bills 105, in the interest of game con- servation; 106, which provided for an increase of ten in the game warden force; Assembiy Bills 136, prohibiting hunting and possession of firearms by aliens; 137, permitting Fish and Game Wardens to carry firearms; 161, forbidding trespass and van- dalism on State fish hatchery and game farm lands; 162, pro- viding for the acquisition of lands for State game farms; 202, prohibiting the sale of certain game; 208, shortening the open season on water-fowl; 213, shortening the open season on shore birds (approved with suggested amendment to make the open season from August I to December 31, instead of June spate December 31); 213, simplifying and making more uniform the law regarding shipment of game. Opposing Senate Bills 115, repealing night shooting law; 153, repealing resident hunters’ license law. On March 15 there was mailed to all members a circular letter discussing at length Assembly Bill 50, providing for the payment of a bounty on the scalps of Hawks, Owls, Weasels’ and Foxes, urging strong opposition and citing the reasons therefore. The most vital legislation introduced during the 1912 session of the Legislature from an Audubon standpoint was undoubtedly the bill providing a bounty on the scalps of Hawks, Owls, Foxes and Weasels. In its original form it cov- 2 CTI6L Ul Tey uoJusTL 94} Je UMOYS OsTY) “Tey ATTOH JUNOP, 9Yy} Je UMOYS ‘splig jo an[eVA IIWIOUODY 9y} Jo yqIYyxy S,AJa1I90G Uoqnpny Aasiof MON 7 AL3IZ0S Nognanv F oy a .

It was subsequently amended to apply only to such species as are not protected under the present law. The plea in defense of the bill was, of course, the stock com- plaint of certain sportsmen, that native game could not be increased nor introduced game successfully propagated unless these predatory creatures were exterminated or reduced in num- bers. This plea takes no account of certain facts familiar to nat- uralists, namely, that predatory creatures are nature’s own device to hold in reasonable check creatures on which they prey; that man alone can and does disregard nature’s laws and permanently upset her complex and delicately established balance, and that man alone is responsible for the decrease in the game and other forms of wild life of our country, hence it is against man only that we need to direct our restrictive laws; finally, that even were there more justice in the claim against predatory crea- tures, still the agricultural interests, with their need for pro- tection against destructive rodents and insects, would be entitled to greater consideration than sportsmen in proportion as their claim is more important. It is fortunate indeed that New Jersey had a Legislature so responsive to the public need that they refused to seriously con- sider this bill, otherwise our State might now be suffering the disastrous results experienced by Pennsylvania following her Hawk and Owl bounty act of 1885. New Jersey is also fortunate in the possession of a Fish and Game Commission keenly alive to the economic value of non- game birds. The Audubon Plumage law passed in 1911 has been wisely and energetically enforced by the Commission, and it has not been necessary for the Audubon Society to devote any atten- tion to this matter. Two prosecutions in Trenton for violation of this act netted $460 in fines, and a considerable number of plumes were confiscated. femme -oectctary, save a series.of 12 lectures before the Farmers’ Institutes as follows: Vineland, November 11; Blairs- town, November 24; Newton, November 25; Moorestown, 5 December 1; Blackwood, December 4; Williamstown, Decem- ber 5; Lakewood, December 8; Elmer, December 11; Woods- town, December 14; Shiloh, December 18; Marlton, Decem- ber 20, 1911, and Freehold, March 8, 1912. - Public’ lecnimes were also given at Woodbury, November 17, 1911, and at the Y. M. C. A. Boys Camp, Lake Wawayanda, August 12, 1912. One of the principal fields of activity on the part of the Society during the past year has been the stimulating of bird study in the schools. By a plan of co-operation with the National Asso- ciation of Audubon Societies a scheme for such study was offered to the teachers of the State. Every teacher forming a Junior Audubon Class of ten or more members, and sending in the names with dues of ten cents each, received the magazine Bird- Lore for one year free. She also received a number of special leaflets on bird study and protection for herself, and a set of ten Educational Bird Leaflets with colored plates and outlines for coloring for each member of her class. Each member of such class received a Goldfinch Audubon button and became a Junior Member of the Society. By this means there were formed in the State of New Jersey 411 Junior Audubon Classes with a total membership of 8,910 prior to the close of the class season, June 15. This was nearly half of the total result of such work in 18 States operating under this plan, showing how readily the teachers and school children of New Jersey appreciated the importance as well as pleasure of such study. The largest Junior Audubon Class organized (in New Jersey or elsewhere) was that formed by Miss Ina C. De Witt, of Tenafly, comprising 279 members. The second largest class was organized by Miss Florence Cook, of Passaic, with 80 members. The first class, 25 members, was sent in by Miss Hilda E. Pierson, of Lawrenceville, on February 26, and the last, 11 mem- bers, by Miss Vera. Stearns, of East Orange, June=3: The 411 classes were scattered through 138 towns and every county in the State. Newark led with 54 classes; Bayonne was next with 19; Perth Amboy had 17; Montclair, 16; Vineland, 12, and Woodbury, 11. Other towns ranged from 1 to 8.

The manner in which the plan was received by teachers and pupils is indicated by the following extracts from teachers’ letters: Mrs. M. R. Salter, a teacher in Ocean City, N. J., adding four members to a class which she had previously organized, writes: “The exceptionally attractive leaflets and pictures, to say nothing of the pretty buttons, have awakened much interest in children as yet outside of the Society. But behind the novelty I have been interested to see that the idea of bird study and bird pro- tection really appeals to the children.” Miss Adelaide C. Fitch, teacher of a Junior Audubon Class in the Spruce Cottage School at Vineland, N. J., sends an attractive picture of the class and writes: “My entire class are enjoying the work very much. Last week we went for a walk in the woods and secured a number of last year’s nests for our collection. We are also studying the ways of the Robin, Blue Jay, Song Sparrow and Wren.” Mr. Roderick B. Thaw writes from New Germantown: “My pupils are very much interested in the work, and the movement meets with the approval and hearty co-operation of the parents.” “The children were much pleased with the buttons and_pic- fares, ~ Janta M. Blake, Bayonne, N. J. “The children appreciate them greatly.” Mabel F. Garra- brant, Newark, N. J. “We are delighted with the bird studies and feel that we will have a very interesting time.” Mrs. R. A. Casselberry, Pauls- boro, N. J. “We are greatly enjoying the work.” Mrs. Florence H. Waggoner, Montclair, N. J. “The children enjoy the leaflets with the bird plates and have colored them quite carefully.”” Annie E. Maxfield, Moores- town, N. J. | “The children are delighted with the pictures and literature, and I have found the pamphlets very helpful.’’ F. I. Anderson, Newark, N. J. “The children are quite anxious to receive the leaflets and hear all about the birds, as they are so interested in birds and flowers.” Elizabeth McElhenny, Garwood, N. J. “T am very glad to have a class started, as the neighborhood has not been educated to protect birds.”” Mrs. Bessie D. Sked, Picweyalies (Ne). “Last week the pictures and bird leaflets came, and the chil- dren were very much pleased with them. One child told me that her mother was going to have the pictures framed for her. Some of the children from the other classes have asked if they might join, as they live in the country. and are much interested aims birds. So far we have taken up only the red-winged blackbird and shall do the robin this month. I am sorry it is so late in the season, but shall start in the Fall, and hope to accomplish more next year. . - Jessie C. Walker, Westheld, (Nagpe “The children are very pleased with the buttons and leaflets.” feansGraham, essex Hells. N. J. “I wish to state that the children are very enthusiastic over the work, as well as some of the older folks at home. The color- ing of the outline birds has been well done and some of the fathers are saving the pictures colored by the children for fram- ing.” Miss Julia C. Reilly, Newark, N. J. “Our pupils are taking the greatest interest in the bird study.” We propose to devote our nature period for the remainder of the term to their study. I hope to form a new class anesepe tember.” Miss E. Josephine Rogers, Vineland, N. J. “The children are enjoying the birds very much and are showing much enthusiasm in describing those they see on their way to school.” Edith R. Phillips, Montclair, N. J. “These leaflets have been a great help in the classroom, and the children are more enthusiastic over ‘Bird Study’ than they have ever been before. They save the leaflets and plates, as they color them, and most of the children are planning to have them bound for future reference. “We teachers sincerely hope that we may be able to avail ourselves of this opportunity to study birds in the schoolroom another year.” Minnie T.

Ninety-two hundred weed seeds have been found in the stomach of a Dove “The children in my class have organized for bird study, and have paid the ten cent dues, and have received the Audubon buttons and literature. They are enthusiastic and grateful, and are proud members of the army organized to protect the wild birds.” Teresa B. Clark, 254 Mt. Pleasant Ave., Newark, N. J. The annual Montclair epidemic of Blackbirds and Starlings, with the attendant newspaper fuss, appeared on time. The Fish and Game Commission handled the matter with excellent judg- ment and, while the Society kept careful watch on the situation, it was not necessary to take any action. Wardens used various harmless methods to freighten the birds from the shade trees, and the tempest in the teapot was abated. An exhibit was placed in the Mount Holly Fair, October 8, 9g, 10 and 11, consisting of the mounted group of birds, showing economic value of food habits, exhibited at the Inter-State Fair, Trenton, last year; bird books; enlarged photographs from life of various birds; display of aigrette plumes, illegally offered for sale and seized by the Fish and Game Commission; colored bird charts and the sign cards of the Society. The measure of success attained by the Society during its brief existence, and the importance of the work that demands its attention, suggests the earnest hope that some of the many wealthy and philanthropic people of New Jersey may see fit, by gift or bequest, to provide an endowment fund which shall insure permanency of financial resources.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It gives me much pleasure to meet you on this occasion of the Third Annual Meeting of the Members of the New Jersey Audubon Society. It is indeed gratifying to me, as I know it is to all of you, that our work ever since the day of the reor- ganization of the Society has met with such universal public approval and support. As a result of our activities, bird and game protective laws of this State have been very greatly strengthened. We have played our part in bringing pressure to bear in Washington in the national efforts which have been made to secure Federal legislation for the further protection of the wild birds of the country. The work of the Society in the field of educational endeavor we point to with pride. Not only has the cause of bird pro- tection been given wide publicity in the press through our efforts, but we have done much in the way of distributing literature to people in every county of the Commonwealth. Our work in the important field of organizing Junior Audu- bon Classes has been unequalled, for in no State in the Union were so many classes formed the past year, and so many children enrolled, as in the State of New Jersey. In this connection I wish to make the fact clear, which many of you already know, that to our worthy Secretary, Mr. B. S. Bowdish, is due, in large measure, credit for what we have accomplished. His energy, good judgment and devotion to the interests of the Society have been above praise, and we owe him an undying debt of gratitude. It is with much confidence that we look forward to our work the coming year. More people are becoming interested all the time in the great subject of conserving our wild bird and animal life, and we certainly have every reason to believe that the New Jersey Audubon Society will every year grow in importance and usefulness. GeorGE BATTEN, President.

REPORT OF SECRETARY Octoser 5, 1915 The New Jersey Audubon Society has now reached_ its fifth milestone, and, thanks to the generosity of one of its Trus- tees, and the loyal support of many members, has withstood the financial strain imposed by the assuming last year of a salaried office, as well as the world-wide curtailment of benefactions. Not only this, but whereas at the last Annual Meeting the Treasurer's Report showed a deficit of $455.47, at this time we have a balance of $390.73, notwithstanding the handicap of debt instead of funds, with which we commenced the year. This, then, is the solace that we find, with which to offset our regret over accomplishments made impossible by the necessity of the sternest economy. | It will be remembered that last year, in inaugurating the policy of a full time, salaried Secretary-Treasurer, three of the Trustees generously and voluntarily assumed responsibility for any shortage of funds that might occur in the first year’s ex- perience under this policy. This obligation was discharged by them, with the closing of the year. One of these Trustees, Colonel Anthony R. Kuser, at that time volunteered a contri- bution of $300, to be used as a campaign fund in securing new members. Since economy of necessity was the watchword, in this as in all of our lines of endeavor, it is easily appreciated how much it meant to us to have this campaign fund available. With it, even in this unfortunate year, we were able to increase the number of new Members over last year, even though fall- ing short on Sustaining Members and failing to add any Patrons or Life Members. During the year the Society lost 5 Sustaining Members by death, 13 by resignation and 5 by delinquency; 7 Members by death, 30 by resignation and 3/7 by delinquency; 1 Associate Member by resignation and 3 who sent no notice of change of address. There were added to the rolls, 49 new Sustaining Members, 340 Members and 22 Associate Members, making the net gain, Sustaining Members, 26; Members, 266; Associate Members, 18; Junior Members, 4,745. The Membership now stands: Patrons, 7; Life Members, 18; Sustaining Members, 206; Members, 984; Associate Members, 235; Junior Members, 25,966; total membership, 27,416. Legislation: A cat license bill introduced by Assemblyman O. H. Hammond, had the very active support of the Society. 4 Had our financial resources permitted the giving of more at- tention to public educational work and to missionary work, it is probable that this bill could have been passed. Its defeat was probably due to its not being taken seriously by the Legislature. A bill was introduced on behalf of the Society, providing a permanent closed season on the bobolink or reed bird. This measure, too, was lost, largely because restricted finances did not permit of a sufficiently vigorous campaign in its behalf. The continuation of the permanent closed season on wood ducks, and a bill prohibiting the carrying of firearms by aliens owning less than $2,000 in real estate, both championed by the Society, represented the principal legislative gain. Several in- imical, retrogressive measures, opposed by the Society, were defeated. Altogether, the principal value from the year’s leg- islative experience, is the object lesson as to the necessity of such support of the Society as will provide for effective cam- paigning. Newspaper Work: In addition to the newspaper publicity given to legislative campaigns during the year, special news articles were issued on “Feed the Birds,” January 5, and “Bird Sanctuaries,’ September 14. The Society has secured a very satisfactory amount of attention from the press during the year, and the increasing willingness of the newspapers of the State to co-operate in the good cause, is most gratifying. The Bulletin: Only three issues of the Bulletin have ap- peared during the year: Number 8, November 1; Number 9, January 1, and Number 10, March 1. Following the latter issue, publication was suspended for the balance of the year, as a measure of economy. Here, again, this enforced consery- ing of funds compelled a retrenchment, the necessity for which is greatly to be regretted. Lectures: Lectures were given by the Secretary, as fol- lows: At Ridgewood, December 9, before the High School pupils at noon, and the Grammar School pupils in the after- noon; at the State Street School, Hackensack, February 5; at the home of Mrs. E. B. Rice, Mahwah, before a gathering of some 75 adults, February 22 ($10.00 contributed to the So- ciety); at the Public School, Tenafly, in February; in the same place, before the Home and School Association, April 12 ($10.00 contributed to the Society); at Montclair, May 4, Grove Street School, 1 P. M.; Central Presbyterian Church, for the Woman’s Guild, 3.30 P. M. (6 new Members secured) ; 5 at the Social Centre, Chestnut Street School, 8 P. M.; Hacken- sack, May 7, Social Service House, 3.45 P. M.; same piace, 8 P. M., collection, $2.40 (contributed to the Society); before the Garden Club, Plainfield, September 22 ($10.00 contributed to the Society ). Junior Audubon Class Work: Since it is feared that the fact may not be generally understood, we take pleasure in stat- ing that we are able to continue this work only through the financial co-operation of the National Association. An even greater amount of attention than heretofore was devoted to the very important field of work in the schools. 421 Junior Audu- bon Classes were organized in the schools of the State, with a membership of 9,395, the largest membership attained in any one year. The continued interest and enthusiasm of teachers and pupils is attested, to some degree, by the following extracts fram teaeners; letters: “Have organized a Junior Audubon Class numbering twenty- two and am doing all I can to get the boys and girls to protect and feed the birds, also build houses for them, which they have done. I also read Bird-Lore to them, and anything else that will help them to do as they should, as members of the Audubon Society. They also write compositions on birds and itn other ways do what they can.” Edith Scott, Woodbridge, N: ie “Were the days and nights of a public school teacher not al- ready overcrowded with work, I should be delighted to give time. to this work. This year’s is a particularly good group—they fairly swamp me in material, which they themselves find in the magazines and papers, of general interest in bird life. I was able to take them, one night this week, to Newark, to hear Mr. Avis. My students are eighth grade, therefore have almost an adult’s appreciation of bird life. I spend one hour a month, at least, with the Class, and just as much more time_as I can get.”. Rosalie. Schumacher =soura Oranges Ney, “My children were delighted with the bird booklets and pic- tures. After seeing them, six more children have decided that they would like to belong.” Edna M. Hardcastle, Somerville, N, J. “I have received the leaflets and buttons which you sent to me. I thank you for your kindness and prompt attention. The ch ldren are delighted and are very eager for another lesson.” Edith B. DeVoe, Belleville, N. J. “The children were very much enthused over their leaflets and I think we are going to have a very interesting Audubon Society. Wishing you success in this great work.” Rose I. Keys, Paterson, Neo. “Our Eighth Grade Society is taking up the work in earnest. The members are putting up bird houses on their own grounds, and we are making arrangements to have a Christmas tree for the 6 ee - birds. Our study in the school room at the various meetings we hold is made very interesting by aid of the balopticon, with which we flash bird pictures on the screen.” Walter Elwood, Principal, New Market, N. J. “The bird pictures, pins and pamphlets were received. We are delighted with them and more of the Third Grade wish to become members after Christmas.” Marion O. Wikoff, Gladstone, N. J. “We organized a Bird Class on the 21st inst., calling ourselves the ‘Hamburg Junior Audubon Society.’ We organized with twenty members in the Grammar Department and expect others to join us soon, I am hopeful of having a very interesting Audubon Class here at Hamburg and am glad of the fact that so many boys have joined.” Myra E. Drake, Hamburg, N. J. “We have derived much benefit from your leaflets and the children are very enthusiastic over the study of them.” Mabel L. Bennett, Dunnellen, N. J. “The children never find coloring the leaflets dull work.” Molly Hand, Keyport, N. J. “IT am sending $2.00 for twenty additional members of the Joseph Wood Audubon Society. The pupils were so delighted with their leaflets and buttons that it was no trouble to get the twenty new members. Our boys are working hard on bird houses; as soon as they have finished we will have the Society’s picture taken and send one to you for your Report.” Florence Dickinson, Tren- ton, N. J. (Miss Dickinson’s original class numbered 50.) “Our first meeting yesterday was a success and I am hoping for increased interest as the season advances.” Myra E. Drake, Hambure. N..J. “Our High School pupils were very much pleased with the Audubon Society, and yesterday there were twenty-five more who wished to become members.” Julia G. Pierce. Paterson, N. J. (Miss Pierce’s class finally numbered 143, the largest for the year.) “The first meeting of the Liberty Bell Junior Audubon Class was held January 19. The youngsters were delighted with the but- tons. To make the little ‘fellows’ better acquainted, I selected the colored plate of the goldfinch for the first lesson. From the pic- ture they learned much and after the outline is colored, we will study the leaflet. Enthusiastic children ‘ask’ questions. Please answer these two: why was the little goldfinch selected for the but- ton? Last year the Liberty Bell button was a robin. The fact that a different bird was used excited curiosity. I could not answer the questions asked, nor tell why. Looking forward to the future, the children wanted to know if there’ were only ten pictures and what we should do next year if we still wanted to be a Club. I told them of a kind fellow living at Demarest, N. J., where the real home of the Audubon Society was, who said he’d be glad to answer any questions I’d write to him. This pleased them and their en- thusiasm brought more members. One of my boys earned his fee by coloring the outlines belonging to my set of leaflets. I am proud of his work and he is proud of his membership. 7 “The children are bringing bird articles to read at our Club meetings. Last Tuesday one of the girls brought a Saturday Evening Post (February 6, 1915), asking me to read the article ‘Laysan. Most of this was unreadable for her,.so she begged me to ‘tell’ it. If you have read it you will know that a teacher found abundant material to work up and to work with. “T have fifteen or eighteen nests and know but two or three of them. They are all last year’s nests and we are studying them relative to the construction and materials used. It is most inter- esting to watch the youngsters investigate. In one of the nests we found some gray strings. The children recognized them as their cotton warp, which we used last year to string our looms for weaving. Later we learned that the nest was found near the school house. We all agree that the birds’ weaving beats ours, and bits of string are being placed about for the little builders.” Sara S. Rainear, New Brunswick, N. J. “The members of our Society are very much interested in what work we have done concerning the welfare of birds. They are so pleased with the leaflets that they wish me to thank you again for them.” Marion OQ. Wikoff, Gladstone, N. J. “Our Junior Audubon Society are greatly pleased with the plates and leaflets. They are very much interested and enthusias- fie 2oMiss Vhs = -te: Clark, Miss Fanny Clarke, Mirs. E. ASS: Clawson, Mrs. W. S. Conner, Miss M. Convers, Miss ©, 0B Cooper, Howard M.

OF “SECRETARY OctToBer 3, 1916 The sixth year of its existence, through which the New Jer- sey Audubon Society has just passed, has been in certain re- spects a peculiarly difficult one. The world-wide disturbance of business and social conditions, due to the European war, and the innumerable new demands on philanthropy arising from the same cause, have conspired to make of the past year the most difficult in our experience in the matter of securing new mem- bers and of retaining the support of those already enrolled. — During the year there have been new members enrolled as follows: Patrons, 1; Life Members, 1; Sustaining Members, 30; Members, 199; Associate Members, 10; Junior Members, 7,814. During the same period the Society lost by death, 3 Sus- taining Members, 9 Members; by resignation, 9 Sustaining Mem- bers, 37. Members, 1 Associate Member, also two Associate Members who removed and left no address; by delinquency, 11 Sustaining Members, 79 Members. This leaves a net gain for the year of 1 Patron; 1 Life Member; 7 Sustaining Members; 74 Members; 7 Associate Members; 7,814 Junior Members. It would seem that the chances of individual solicitation for membership succeeding were far better than in the case of gen- eral circularizing. Almost every member knows one or more persons who would readily lend their aid to the cause and be- come a member, if the matter were personally laid before them in a persuasive manner. Solicitation of this sort is not agree- able to many people, but surely the cause is worthy and worth while. Some of our members have loyally done their part in the securing of new members. Much more of this good work is greatly needed. An adequate business office and an assistant to attend to detail work would render it possible for the Sec- retary to devote a good deal of attention to personal solicita- tion for new members and increased support of the Society’s work. Legislation: A cat license bill, identical with the one that was lost last year, was introduced on behalf of the Society by Assemblyman Simpson, and our bobolink bill of last year was re-introduced by Assemblyman Herrick. Despite the fact that a very active campaign was waged on behalf of the Society, in seeking the promotion of these measures, it seemed impossible to secure prompt consideration of either of them. The cat A license bill was passed in the Assembly a few days before the going into effect of the rule for consideration of certain legisla- tion only; it was not rushed to consideration in the Senate as promptly as was to have been desired, and as a result failed without ever coming to a vote in the upper house. The bobolink bill did not even get to a vote in the Assembly. though favorably reported by Committee early in the session. The almost annual bounty bill was introduced in the Senate, this time offering a bounty on all hawks except the fish hawk, and on crows, and providing that they might be killed at any time of year, being in this respect a little more vicious than similar bills heretofore. It was actively opposed by the Society and failed to pass. In the National legislative field, also, the Society took its part, using its influence toward the securing of an appropria- tion for the enforcement of the Federal Migratory Bird Law, and for the ratification of the Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada, in conjunction with the other bird protection organizations work- ing to the same end. Newspaper Work: In addition to the regular mailing of the Bulletin and our other literature to the press of the State, and the contributing of minor local items, four specially prepared news articles have been sent out during the past year, as fol- lows: “What the Birds Do in Winter,’ December, 1915; “Birds and Cats Have Their Day in State House,’ February, 1916; “Save the Bobolink,” March, 1916; ‘Birds as Checks on Disease Scourges,’ September, 1916. As heretofore, these articles have been very well received, and our returns indicate a steadily in- creasing use of our articles by the press, and a consequent greater publicity for the activities of the Society. The Bulletin: Since the commencement of the calendar year, we have been able to issue the Bulletin fairly regularly, as planned, at two month intervals. Five issues, Numbers 11 to 15, inclusive, have appeared, containing six half-tone illustra- tions and three special contributions from members. With con- tinued support, both financial and literary, we hope not only to continue the regularity, but to improve the character of our ‘little publication. Lectures: Lectures were given by the Secretary as follows: At Fort Lee, January 18, 8 P.M., Cella’s Hall, under the aus- pices of the Bergen County Sportsmen’s Fish and Game Pro- tective Association, about 250 present, nine new members se- ~ J cured, $1.25 contributed; Metuchen, January 21, School Audi- torium, School Board Public Lecture Series, attendance over 300, $10 contributed, one new member secured; Allendale, Feb- ruary 2, Borough Hall, Community Dinner under the auspices of the Board of Trade, thirty minute talk without illustrations, expenses paid; Demarest, March 2, 8 P.M., School Hall, under the auspices of the Home and School Association, attendance about 200, $3 contributed, two new members secured; Bergen Grange Hall, Hackensack, April 19, under the auspices of the Bergen Grange, 8 P.M., attendance small; Clinton, May 2, 8 P.M., request of Mr. William M. Savin, for Boy Scouts and general public, attendance about 200, $25 contributed by Mr. Savin; Park Ridge, May 18, 8 P.M., Public Hall, request of - Mrs. C. W. Laws, for general public, to create interest in or- ganization of a local society, attendance about 200; Englewood, May 23, Liberty School, for Junior Audubon Classes of Engle- wood, attendance about 150 children; Leonia, May 25, 8 P.M., Presbyterian Church, for the Leonia Bird Club, about 60 fres- ent, Sustaining Membership of Club secured; Glen Gardner, July 14, 8 P.M., State Tuberculosis Sanatorium, for the patients and staff of the Sanatorium by request of Messrs. William M. Savin and George A. Rutherford, about 300 present, expenses paid, $25 contributed by Mr. Savin, one new member secured. The net results of these lectures were nearly two thousand people addressed on bird protection; fourteen new members se- cured; $64.25 contributed to the Society’s funds; ten lectures - given. The Secretary has also addressed the Teachers’ Institutes of Somerset County at Somerville, September 26; Monmouth County at Ocean Grove, September 27, Sussex County at New- ton, September 28, and Ocean County at Lakewood, Septem- ber 29, in the interest of the Junior Audubon Class work in the schools. Exhibit: The Englewood Bird Club held an exhibit in a vacant store on Deane Street, Englewood, during the week com- mencing October 11, 1915, in which the Society co-operated. The Club had on exhibit a large variety of devices for attract- ing and sheltering birds, including nesting boxes, food shelters and baths. One of the large show windows was occupied by the portable “Economic alue of Birds” exhibit belonging to the Society. The Vice-President of the Club and the Secretary of the Society were in charge of the exhibit, which attracted a good deal of attention and much favorable comment. A con- 6 siderable number of new members were secured for both or-. ganizations. Junior Audubon Class Work: As heretofore, co-operating with the National Association of Audubon Societies, the Society endeavored to still further develop this most important field of activity. Special effort was made to largely increase the num- ber of Junior Audubon Classes in New Jersey, and it is a mat- ter of serious regret that the results were not more satisfactory. In this field there is an opportunity for all active members to assist by assuring themselves that this work is being carried on in the schools of their sections. That the number of Classes organized (344), smaller by far than we had hoped, did not indicate a lack of pleasure and profit derived by those taking part in it was evidenced by many letters from teachers, from which the following quotations are taken: “We have had many interesting meetings th’s fall. One of the chil- dren brought me the oddest nest, made of white horsehair and roots; a chipping sparrow’s nest, I think.” Mary L. Clayton, Freehold, N. J. “The children are very much pleased with their pictures and _but- tons and take a great interest in the talks and study of bird life, which I have about twice a month. I enjoy Bird-Lore and the children like the stories of bird life which I read to them.” Edith E. Stevens, Morris Plains, N. J. “Last year a Club of ten was formed. We took waiks and had some very good times, as well as instructive ones. As a consequence the Club has more than doubled in size.” Ethel G. Spinning, Newark, N. J. “We have enjoyed feeding the birds this winter and the chickadees, snowbirds, woodpeckers and nuthatches have grown very tame. We have given them suet, apples, crumbs and corn and can see them feed ng close to our school room w ndows. The boys are making bird houses and feeding trays at school, and some are being made at home. We have read aloud ‘The Song of the Cardinal, by Gene S. Porter, and both boys and girls were greatly in- terested. As soon as possible we will write to our Assemblyman and Senator ask ng them to support Assembly Bill 22—as your letter to-day re- quested.” Blanche Graves Smith, West Orange, N. J. “T am enclosing you money order for $3.70, membership dues of the Seventh Grade pupils for tte Audubon Society. I believe this is the first time the pupils of this Grade have reached the 100 per cent. mark and it speaks volumes for ther interest and enthusiasm in the conservation of bird-life.” Mary A. Eagan, Tenafly, N. J. “We all wish you great success in your noble work, and promise to do our best in spreading interest, and sympathy with the objects of the New Jersey Audubon Society.” Rose Sweeney, Trenton, N. J. 7 In closing the report of a year’s work, disappointing as it must be admitted to be in the matter of gain in membership, it is worth while to emphasize one most encouraging fact: With absolutely no other financial support than the regular membership dues and contributions, the balance in the Treasury is larger than that of last year. This means that the co-opera- tive work of the Society has reached a point where, with the same effort on the part of all, there need be no further fear as to the Society’s ability to hold its own. A little more individual activity, generally diffused through the membership, and we can not fail to show a gratifying growth in every way. BEECHER S. BowpisH, Secretary. REPORT OF THE RIDGEWOOD AUDUBON SOCIETY The Ridgewood Branch reports increased interest in bird | life among the public school children. For the third season the Society offered prizes for occupied bird houses at the homes of the children, and as the result, fifty-nine bird families were comfortably housed. For prizes five childen chose subscriptions to Bird-Lore, nineteen preferred Reed’s Land Birds East of the Rocky Moun- tains, and the rest selected the money prize. The child who sent the best written description of the little family in the bird house also received an award, and we hope eventually to arouse in- terest in bird photography. Public School teachers known to be interested in bird preser- vation are made welcome in the Society as Honorary Members. Audubon leaflets are distributed and bird guides are provided at wholesale rates. In March, under the auspices of the Society, Mr. William L. Finley, State Game Warden of Oregon, gave a motion picture lecture on western bird life, and his book Little Boy Blue was given to the Public Library and Earnest Harold Baynes’ Wild Bird Guests to the Public Schools. The Society has reported to the Game Warden for the County any violations of the bird protective laws that have come to its notice. Lity M. Orns, Secretary-Treasurer.

The untiring work of our Secretary and Treasurer in the promotion of protective legislation and his efforts to prevent the enactment of laws inimical to the increase of our bird life has met with success. The interest in preservation of birds through winter feeding has been largely stimulated through our local societies and a generous distribution of pamphlets. We have especially to thank the ladies for their enthusiasm and assistance in the formulation of local societies and the stimu- lation of popular interest in bird life and its preservation. The moving of the offices of the Society to Newark brings us in touch with new opportunities for more effective work. It is a satisfaction to be able to carry over in to our new year a substantial balance in our treasury, which I feel sure is augury of a successful and useful future. The severing of the direct co-operation lent us in the past by the National Association is regrettable, but with the people of the Sovereign State of New Jersey as our co-operators we look forward with confidence to an increase in our usefulness and popular support accordingly.

REPORT OF SECRETARY OcTOBER 2, 1917 During the past year, the seventh since the Society was or- ganized, one of the most momentous events of its existence has taken place. As, in the early part of the year 1914-15, it was realized that the work of the Society had outgrown an arrange- ment of a part-time Secretary, so in the early part of the year now closing it was realized that our work could not properly continue and expand with an executive office housed in the home of the Secretary and removed from active business centres of the State. As in the former contingency there were found men who stood willing to personally meet the added cost of the needed change, so in this later requirement generous friends came to the front and the Society was established in its first real office, in a central location in Newark, the State’s metropolis. The advantages of this development have made _ themselves apparent daily since the change was inaugurated, and with a re- turn to normal world conditions will be still further assured. Abnormal conditions, innumerable appeals of the most com- pelling character on the support of public spirited people, have made of this year, like the two preceding ones, trying times for the expansion of our work and the funds necessary to its maintenance. During the year there have been enrolled 40 new Sustaining Members; 175 new Members; 19 new Associate Members; 7,874 new Junior Members. There were lost by death 5, by resigna- tion 8, by delinquency 11, total 24 Sustaining Members; by death 9, by resignation 29, by delinquency 80, total 118 Mem- bers; by death 1, by resignation 2, removed and left no address 3, total 6 Associate Members. The net gain, therefore, has been 16 Sustaining Members, 57 Members, 13 Associate Mem- bers. Although the net gain in Members is smaller, the net gain in Sustaining Members is considerably better than that of last year, in addition to which there have been extra contribu- tions of $1,000, $300 and $100 respectively. A considerable amount of individual help from certain members has aided in building up membership and is gratefully acknowledged. We 6 NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY feel sure that if members realized the great possibilities of a little individual effort, the gain from such source would be many times more. Legislation: A cat license bill, essentially similar to those that the Society has championed for the past two years, was introduced in the last Legislature and was backed by the Society as earnestly as though it were our own measure. As heretofore, it appeared to meet with the same apathy in the Legislature as former bills, and failed to pass. Our bill for according perma- nent protection to the Bobolink was again introduced at the behest of the Society and despite a very energetic campaign on our part met with the same lack of sympathy and failed to pass. The annual bounty bill, this time providing for bounties on hawks and crows, was again introduced by the enemies of birds, and met with the same effective opposition that we have accorded such measures in the past. We rejoice to record that it was easily defeated. Newspaper Work: In the field of publicity work, so im- portant to our cause, we have steadily increased our activity. Three special news articles have been sent to the press of the State, “Aubudon Society Opposes Plan for Sparrow Extermina- fion,’ December 8; “Birds as Crop Protectors,” Apritg= ieee Feathered Aviation Corps,” July 16. The co-operation shown us by the press of the State continues to increase, and returns indicate a steadily growing use of these articles. In addition to these special news articles we have secured the publication of a number of local items which have been of interest and of great value to our cause. Chief among these may be men- tioned an article, “Bird Lovers Rejoice that State Headquarters of Audubon Society have been Opened in this City,’ with which the Newark Evening News of February 12, greeted our advent in Newark; an article in the same paper of September 22, call- ing attention to the importance of our work in general and in the schools in particular, and a similar article in the Newark Sunday Call for October 14. All of these were prominent, illustrated display articles. In several instances various papers have made favorable editorial comment on our work, which has been of great value to us. The Bulletin: We are glad to record that during the past year the Bulletin has been issued regularly at two-month in- tervals. Six issues have thus appeared, each containing a half- tone illustration, and there have been eight communications - NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY . ) i from members, besides a number of letters and essays by junior members published. With the increasing support thus shown, we hope to be able to increase the interest and value of our little publication, as, with a greater financial support, we might increase its size. Lectures: At the public session of our last Annual Meeting, in the Newark Free Public Library, we secured the services of Mr. Howard H. Cleaves for a free public lecture on “Experi- ences in Photographing and Attracting Wild Birds,’ which was greatly enjoyed, the attendance filling the room to comfortable capacity. Lectures have been given by the Secretary as follows: at the Public Museum, New Brighton, Staten Island, for the Staten Island Bird Club, October 11, $10.00 contributed; High- wood Fire House, Weehawken, January 22, for Scout Masters’ Conference; High School Auditorium, Plainfield, February 1, for the Sesame Club, school children and general public, at- tendance about 600, expenses paid by Club; Baptist Church, Flemington, Conference of Hunterdon County -Young Men’s Christian Association, by request of Mr. William M. Savin, Feb- ruary 2, attendance about 300, $25.00 contributed by Mr. Savin; Public School Auditorium, Oceanic, Peoples’ Course, February 6, attendance about 250; Newark Free Public Library, for Junior Museum Association, February 17, attendance about 100; Pres- byterian Church, Red Bank, for Woman’s Club, by request of Mr. Theron McCampbell, February 23, attendance about 100, expenses paid by Mr. McCampbell, a number of new members resulted; Guild House, Christ’s Church, Hackensack, for the Woman’s Club of Hackensack, attendance about 100, April 2, a number of new members resulted; Plainfield, April 12, Wash- ington School, 9.30 A. M., High School 10.45 A. M., High School 1.00 P. M., for pupils of schools, total attendance about 800, $10.00 contributed; Burnet School, Newark, May 2, ten minute talk to Superintendent, Principals and Teachers on Junior Audubon class work. In addition to the foregoing, sev- eral minor talks have been given by the Secretary. Bird Sanctuaries: Mr. Edward G. Kent, a member of this Society, has designated a piece of property of nearly one hun- dred and fifty acres, in Sussex County, as an Audubon Bird Refuge. Natural conditions on this property are such as to make it quite ideal for the purpose. Mr. Kent has posted linen warning notices against shooting and notices have been pub- lished in Newark and local papers. Mr. Ira Barrows, another 8 NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY member of the Society, has, during the past few years, created an ideal Bird Sanctuary out of his beautiful ten acre estate at Rumson, and has enjoyed many gratifying, tangible results of his efforts. This is a line of activity in which the members of the Society will find the liveliest interest and to which the Society desires to lend every possible encouragement and as- sistance. Junior Audubon Class Work: The new office and assist- ant have enabled us to devote even more attention and effort to our important work in the schools during the past year than heretofore. As a result our record was the best for this period that has been secured in the five years that it has been carried on. 579 Junior Audubon Classes were organized in New Jersey, with a total membership of 14,382. This has meant a very great expenditure of time and effort, as well as no small outlay of money, but the results are fully worthy of the activity thus devoted. The growing interest of teachers and pupils has been evidenced in many ways. Calls for bird talks in the schools are constantly increasing. Pupils are showing greatly increased in- terest in competing for prizes for bird drawings and essays. Some examples of growing enthusiasm in the work are con- tained in the following extracts from teachers’ letters, a few out of the many we receive: “T have formed classes the past two years under this plan and the boys and girls were enthusiastic over the work. They fed the birds in winter, and as spring came on built a great many bird hotises and enjoyed immensely watching birds ‘rent’ them and es- tablish homes.” A. Margaret Speidel, North Plainfield. “Your leaflets and buttons have given the children of Millstone great pleasure, and have aided them to receive further knowledge of the birds we have been watching continually.” Magdalena Mayer, East Millstone. “Enclosed are the names and dues of five more children who desire to become members of the Seventh Grade Junior Audubon Society of Manasquan. They were so pleased with the leaflets that the others received that they wished to become members also.” Octavia E. Sparkles, Manasquan. “The buttons and literature for our Junior Audubon Club were received and greatly appreciated by the children. I am enclosing the names of other children who have been inspired to join after seeing the enthusiasm of the members of the Club. “T think your organization is doing a great good, and we expect to derive much pleasure from being affliated with it.” Katherine Jamison, Pennington. i mal ns i i ee ae a ee NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY 9 “The children are delighted with the stories and more so with the pictures. We have a lesson on a new bird every week. That day every one is sure to be present. They draw the birds still larger than the pictures. About twenty of the boys and girls have made various kinds of bird houses. . The girls make them nearly as good as the boys. Every day some one has a new story to tell about what he has seen new this spring about some bird. We had a large paper on the blackboard where the name of the bird and the date of its arrival was written with the child’s name. This made others more eager to watch out for them. “Out of the thirteen schools in our Township, I think Newfield School is the only one that has joined your Society. As it has been such a help to my pupils I will try to encourage the teachers to interest their pupils next year.” Bertha I. Atkins, Franklinville, “I think these Clubs are fine things for children. They learn to know many of the birds, and best of all, they learn to love them. Some of the parents have told me they were surprised at the number of birds their children knew when they were out in the woods with them.” Addie D. Eastman, Plainfield. “In previous years I have had very good results from the children and much interest has been aroused. In fact it sometimes seems to me that all the disabled or dead birds in town were brought to me.” Florence A. Brainerd, Westfield. “Wish to tell you how very much the leaflets, buttons, etc., appealed to the children. The set of ten were all taken at once and seven more want them. The material surely shows an understand- ing of children’s interests and seems to me remarkably well gotten up. The children love to color the pictures and are delighted with the buttons. We went out early last Saturday morning and saw so many of the warblers, etc.” Helen Paul, Moorestown. “These pupils are first year High School, are very enthusiastic and have taken many bird trips with me. We hold a meeting every Friday after school where a program is given, arranged by the pupils. Our next program consists in answering questions asked by our President (a pupil) on the Purple Martin. On Decoration Day the Club, on an all day’s trip, identified forty-two varieties of birds.” Cordelia H. Arnold, Atlantic City. Despite the deflection of many who, having put their shoulder to the wheel of bird protection, turn back, despite the difficulties that in these most trying times confront all efforts to overcome such deflection and to secure such numbers of recruits as to offset losses and add steady gain to our forces, the fact that the Society, accomplishing in no small measure the objects for which it is organized, year by year maintains itself and steadily, even if slowly, grows, proves that not only is the cause of our existence worth while and so recognized by the public, but that if there is united and persistent effort on the part of all, we 10 NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY shall accomplish, without question, much if not all that we would wish. With regret for losses, with pleasure and satisfaction in such measure of gains as have been ours, your Secretary pledges to the Society the best that is in him, which is all that he asks from any fellow member. BEECHER S. BowpisH, Secretary. REPORT OF THE RIDGEWOOD AUDUBON SOCIETY The Ridgewood Branch is a small organization having usually from 12 to 16 members, with average attendance at each meet- ing of but four or five members—work therefore is necessarily limited. Yet results each season among the school children show increasing interest in our song birds. Prizes are offered at the close of the school year for occupied bird houses put up at the children’s homes, each child writing a letter describing the oc- cupants, their daily life, number of young, kind of food given, etc. Seventy-five houses were reported taken by feathered tenants this spring, which meant much comfort for the birds, and a distribution of prize subscriptions to Bird-Lore and copies of Reed’s Guide to the Birds East of the Rockies, as well as cash, to the forty-nine children. On July 4th, the Ridgewood Branch occupied a booth at an outdoor Bazaar for the benefit of the Red Cross and there was not space to exhibit all the interesting material collected. Bird houses and bird games were sold, suet logs and Simplex suet holders, copies of the Travels of Birds and of Bird Guides, which literature was given free. In the early part of June, the Ridgewood Branch had a re- production of “The Spirit of Audubon,” given at the Ridge- wood Moving Picture House. It is an instructive and charming film.

AUDUBON SOG SYNOPSIS OF PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Another year has rolled around, full of stirring events in which time every man has had all he could attend to and if he did not the Government wished to know the reason why, and would see that he did have the necessary additional work. In my case I have not had to appeal to the Government nor have I had time to give to the birds and their interests the attention which they deserve, not only from their economic but their aesthetic side. In these days of stress and sorrow we need their cheering voices and their winning ways to divert us from things only too gloomy and depressing. I have lived in touch with birds since my boyhood only to see the Bluebirds, the charming harbingers of spring dis- appear from our door yards; the cheering whistle of the Quail become so infrequent an occasion as to arouse one’s surprise. One may walk in the forest for days without hear- ing the whir of a partridge. Numerous species of birds, which a generation or two aga were common about our homes, are now exceedingly rare and infrequent. Much of this has been brought about by the ill advised doings of mankind, and were there no laws enacted bird life would be as little in evidence as it is in Italy where the note of a bird is almost unknown and where laws for their protection, if they exist are only of recentidate: It is necessary that some one shall be on guard and ready to advocate their cause, to further legislation for their protec- tion, to oppose such laws as are contrary to common sense and the very existence of the birds. The New Jersey Audu- bon Society is that in New Jersey, and its one purpose is to initiate and perpetuate the love of birds in children and adults and to carry out work on the lines of legislation favorable to their increase. The results of bird life in the economical equation of our country has been well defined by our Government so that it is to us now a matter of dollars and cents that the birds NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY 5 should be protected and our gardens and fields permitted to grow, unmolested by insect pests. What these pests can do is occasionally illustrated by the ravages of the brown tailed moth and other imported species. In the summer I saw in southern New Jersey thousandsof oak trees stripped of their foliage and the caterpillars so thick on the roads it was diffi- cult to drive an automobile without skidding, due to the crawling larvae. The New Jersey Audubon Society, when the war is over, will appeal with greater force, when the people will be awak- ened to the utilization of our resources and the closer utili- zation of all our available assets. Waste has been one of the most reprehensible failings of this country. We must reform; we will reform. It has been brought to our attention and it has been more than that. It has been brought to our tables and our pocket-books. No more emphasis can be given to any appeal than where it strikes these two most important functions of human economy. The New Jersey Audubon Society in the future will lead its crusade against all enemies of birds and its educational work among both children and adults. 6 NEW JERSEY AUDUBON: SOCIETY REPORT OF SECRETARY October 8, 1918 The eighth year of the Society’s existence, just closing, has, without doubt, been the most trying that it has been called on to experience. The increasing financial stringencies due to the world war, and to the innumerable calls on the philanthropies of the people, during this year, and particu- larly the latter part of the fiscal year, reached a point where large expenditure of cash and effort’ in behalf of the upbuild- ing of the Society brought smaller results than we have ever known, while losses from resignations and delinquencies (in part due to departure for military service) have tended to increase. With no decrease in the general cost of maintain- ing our work, with the necessity of increased effort and conse- quent expenditure to offset membership and financial losses, with an advance in cost of postage and printing, two prime items in our expenditures, increase in rent and in most of the minor essentials, the Society at this time, in place of the eratifying balance shown at the close of the last fiscal year faces practically a deficit, and must either secure a greater measure of public support or cease its activities until such time as such support can be had. This would withdraw the state centre of stimulus to bird protection and encourage- ment at just the time when it is of greatest local and national, importance, and would open the door to enactment of retro- gerade legislation such as the Society has had to combat yearly, which might be impossible of repeal for years, and the evil effects of which might easily continue for a much greater period. This is by no means the first time, in its comparatively brief career, that the Society has faced a critical period, nor is it the most serious experience. While the executive man-— agement has used every effort to secure more satisfactory conditions, it now becomes necessary to call on the members who realize the importance of our work at all times, and the fact that it is now a war work of greatly increased importance, —— . WEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY 7 to contribute extra effort to its maintenance at this junc- ture. Many can, if they will, secure new members from among their acquaintances and friends. The amount of the annual contribution may be increased or special contribution made to meet the present emergency. And action taken promptly, will be of double value. The Society has, during the fiscal year, enrolled one new Patron, five Life Members, 35 Sustaining Members, 148 Members, 16 Associate Members and 4,933 Junior Members. It has lost two Patrons by death, one its first President, Mr. George Batten: one Life Member by transference to Patron; 26 Sustaining Members, 4 by death, 7 by resignation and 15 by delinquency; 97 Members, i4 by death, 31 by resignation and 52 by delinquency; 20 Associate Members, 1 by death, 19 by removal without leaving address. There is therefore a net loss of one Patron; net gain of 5 Life Members; 9 Sus- taining Members; 53 Members; net loss of 4 Associate Members. ; Legislation: At the behest of one of its members, the Society had prepared and introduced in the Legislature a bill (Assembly 71) placing the starling with the list of non- game birds excepted from protection. This was the only measure it introduced, but it was active on behalf of Assem- bly 128, extending for another three years the permanent closed season on wood ducks; Assembly 245, a cat license measure practically identical with the one sought for several years past; Assembly 246, providing a five year closed sea- son on quail or bob-white; and against the original Assembly 14, which would have transferred moneys received from hunting licenses to the State treasury and left them open to appropriation for any purpose at the whim of Legislatures. The greatest energy of the Society and the help of its friends in and out of the Legislature was necessary to pre- vent an amendment to the starling bill, taking protection off from gulls from being enacted. Our effort was successful, however, and the bill was passed in its original form. Assem- bly 128 also passed, but bills 245 and 246 were lost, the latter because the legislators representing the southern part of the State preferred that hunters still have the privilege of killing the bob-white rather than that the farmers. should have the benefit of the services of this prince of insect and 8 NEW JERSEY AUDUBGCNSSOCiz i weed seed destroyers. Assembly 14 was amended so that funds from hunting licenses should be devoted to the object of game protection and propagation. The Society has steadily had its part in influencing Federal legislation, and joins in the general gatification over the passage of the so-called “Enabling Act,” which gives force to the treaty with Canada, protecting migratory game and insectivorous birds. One of the results is the promulgation of more stringent regulations, whereby bobolinks, unpro- tected by State laws, will be protected in this State by Federal regulation. . Newspaper Work: This publicity work field has been better developed than heretofore. Five regular news articles have been sent to the press of the State during the past year, as follows: “Audubon Society Meeting,’ October 4, 1917; “An Army of Children for Conservation,” November 5,. 1917; “Legislation- and the Birds,” February eee “Birds and War Gardens,” March 14, 1918; “Audubon Work in Schools,” July 17, 1918. In addition to these general articles, six special articles were published, as follows: “Help Save Bird Friends,’ an appeal for public support on the editorial page of the Newark Evening News, September 25, 1917 (not mentioned in last year’s report); “Through the Audubon Societies, Americans are Learning How to Utilize Birds in War Work” (illustrated, and dealing with the work in the schools), Newark Evening News, December 3, 1917; “Birds and 1918 Crops,” editorial page appeal for support, Newark Evening News, January 31, 1918; “Even the Birds Can Do Their Part in Winning the World War” (illustrated, special feature), Newark Star-Eagle, February 9, 1918; “Pro- tect Birds to Conserve Food,’ Newark Sunday Call, May 19, 1918; “Pussy’s Knell Has Sounded; Her Doom Urged by Men and Women) of New Jersey Audubon Society” (original title “Cats and the Audubon Society,” a very moderate ex- position of the Society’s position favoring legal restriction of cats), Newark Sunday Ledger, July 14, 1918. The regular articles continue to have increased use by the press; the special articles have largely been feature items, and publicity results for the year have been very satisfactory. aa The Bulletin: Regular issuance of the Bulletin at two months intervals, six issues during the year, has been main- oh. iit i i eS le 2 ee. eee NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY 9 tained, despite increasing expense. The Bulletin is our means of communication among our members and its sus- pension would mean a serious curtailment of our functions, Just as an increased size and attractiveness, made possible by increased support, would mean a notable contribution to the effectiveness of our work. Lectures: Mr. Henry Oldys, formerly of the Bureau of Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture, and representing the Federal Food Administration gave a lecture at the public session of the Annual Meeting of the Society in Newark on “Birds and Food Shortage,” which was enjoyed by a good audience. Lectures have been given by the Secretary as follows. Marlton, Farmers’ Institute, De- cember 11, attendance about 100; Miss Craven’s School, Newark, for the teachers and pupils, January 7; Girls’ Voca- tional School, Newark, February 6, to Superintendents, Supervisors and Principals, a ten minute address on our work in the schools; Freehold, High School Auditorium, March 9, Monmouth County Y. M. C. A., Second Annual Farm Boys’ Day, 100 boys present, $5.00 contribution re- ceived: Trenton, April 4, in interest of work in schools, State Normal School, to about 100 senior students, 2.30 P. M.; Administration Building, 4.15 P. M. to about 40 nature and other teachers; Washington School, Kearny, April 10, for the School Bird Clubs and pupils; attendance 483, mainly teachers and pupils; Oceanic, April 15, Public School, thirty-minute address on building and placing bird houses, in connection with acting as one of the judges in award of prizes by Rumson Bird Club, to children building bird houses in contest; Red Bank, May 10, for Woman’s Club of Red Bank, about 200 present, expenses paid by Club; Trenton, May 22, State Normal School, two addresses before biology classes, total attendance about 200; Sergeantsville, July 24, general audience of about 50, $5.50 contributed; Camden, August 30, group meeting of rural teachers, brief address on School Bird Clubs ; Hackensack, September 21, Principals’ Association, 15-minute address on School Bird Clubs, about 100 present. Bird House Contests: There has been a most gratifying development of bird house building and placing contests under various auspices within the past year or so. The con- test held by the Rumson Bird Club has aleady been alluded to. The firm of L. S. Plaut & Co. of Newark, held the second annual bird house contest on April 9 last, your Secretary 10 NEW JERSEY AUDUBON. SOCIETY acting as one of the three judges in deciding awards. One of the immediate developments from this was the enrollment of the firm. of L. S. Plaut & Co.as a Life Membersptegiers Society. The popularizing of bird house building and placing is a hopeful sign of the times. School Bird Clubs: It will be recalled that up to the time of our last Annual Report, this Society had been co- operating with the National Association of Audubon Societies in the oiganization ot Junior Audubon Classes 1n the schools. On that occasion it was possible to report the greatest re- sults yet achieved in this work in New Jersey,—5/9 Classes organized, with a total membership of 14,382. in our Novem- ber issue of the Bulletin, it was explained how the canceling by the National Association of Audubon Societies of the arrangement of co-operation had forced this Society to either abandon the highly important school work, or undertake it on an independent basis, involving an added $1,500 of expense over what we had previously expended for such work. Leaf- lets, colored plates and outlines had to be prepared, which was accomplished and an adequate stock secured. School Bird Clubs were substituted for Junior Audubon Classes. The results secured, 373 Clubs, with a total membership of 8,419 compared not unfavorably with the initial year of Jumior Audubon Class work, 1911-12, when 411 Classes, with a total membership of 8,910 were secured. It also compares well with 174 Junior Audubon Classes, 4,885 members, reported for the past year by the National Association of Audubon Societies. It is to be regretted that a greater amount of public support for this as for other phases of the Society’s work has not been forthcoming, since, unless conditions in this respect very greatly improve this work, which should be one of our most important endeavors, will have to be abandoned. As proving that interest and enthusiasm among teachers and pupils remains unabated in the work, we submit a few -sample extracts from the many letters received from teachers: “The members of the St. Cloud School (West Orange) Bird Club are having a great treat and I thought it might be of in- terest to you to hear of it. A pair of cardinals have elected to spend the winter in the woods at no great distance from our school. They fly about very near the road and are seen almost every day by some of the children. Several of the children have had the honor of feeding them in their yards. NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY “I saw them for the first time about a week dgo and shall never forget the beauty of the male against the snow. It was my first sight of an uncaged cardinal. “We have had many chickadees at our feeding trays this win- ter and at present the children find great pleasure in watching a downy woodpecker eat the suet placed on a tree very near one of our school windows.” Blanche G. Smith, St. Cloud, West Orange, “I have always been exceedingly glad to have my boys and girls form a Bird Club and I am more than glad this year as the collection is an unusually interesting one and the pictures are more artistic than ever before. “The children are very enthusiastic and children in a large city need some such stimulus as your leaflets and pictures to arouse their interest in the birds. It seems a pity that more people cannot be led to get into their lives that wonderfully beautiful influence for good, love for, and an intelligent knowledge of the birds. “Much success and joy to you in your work.” Sue E. Garis, East Orange, N. J. “The children are greatly interested in the leaflets and espe- cially like to color the pictures.” Emilie A. Rogers, Delanco, N. J. 8 “The children are very enthusiastic about and have gained much knowledge by the use of the Study Leaflets. My Guide, for which I thank you, is very helpful. I am enclosing 90c for dues for nine new members to our class Club. Will you send the printed matter as soon as possible?” Frances B. Shaw, Westfield, N. J. “T am enclosing a check for eighty cents. I would like two of the smalt books—New Jersey Bird Guides. I have offered one for the best house made by any of my pupils—mostly seven or eight years of age. The other book is for the best bird house brought in, made by a big brother or father. I will send you a picture of the children with their houses. “One of the most attractive made by an older brother is of small birch boughs with a green shingled roof. “T expect to form'my bird club in a very few days. “T also have the bank and I hope to fill it this spring, having bird walks. I have a Camp Fire, and I am sure the girls will help me.” Fanny Leigh Beckwith, Plainfield, N. J. 11 12 NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY “The children who have received the leaflets are delighted with them. Over 50% of my class belong and I hope to increase the number.” Elsie T Johnson, Hightstown, N. J. It may be well to commend to the attention of the mem- bers of the Society, as well as to the general public of New Jersey the fact that these are the times when it is most vital that bird forces be protected, increased and utilized to the fullest extent, that these are also the times when it is nfost difficult to secure adequate support for this cause. It follows that need for expenditures in other directions does not con- stitute an adequate reason for abandoning pre-war support of the Audubon Society, and that such abandonment will prove disastrous at a time when the work of the Society can least be spared. Regretting the unfortunate lack of financial support that has been vouchsafed the Society during the past year, and the various unsatisfactory results therefrom, yet feeling assured that the people of the State will not permit a work such as ours to cease at the moment of greatest need for it, your Secretary feels that he can do no more than repeat the closing words of his last year’s report, that he “pledges to the Society the best that is in him, which is all that he asks from any fellow member.” 2 B. S.-BownpisH, Secretary. = ae | NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY REPORT OF RIDGEWOOD AUDUBON SOCIETY The Ridgewood Branch reports continued interest among the school children in the Occupied Birdhouse contest car- ried on during the past four years. Forty-four new houses were occupied the past season, and a larger percentage of girls took part in the work than ever before. In prizes seven copies of F. M. Chapman’s Travels of Birds were awarded, fifteen Guides to the Birds of New Jersey, and to the rest the cash prize of fifty cents, many of the children using the money for the purchase of Thrift Stamps. The birds housed were bluebirds, wrens and chickadees. In feeding winter birds the Society found it could ,re- duce the expense these war times by investing in fifty pound quantities of bird seed, the members then dividing the amount according to the size of each one’s bird counter. One hundred and fifty pounds were bought in this way, and part was donated to a feeding counter at one of the schools. As the plan worked weil, an earlier start was made this fall, and six hundred pounds of sunflower, hemp, young chick feed and scratch food were bought at wholesale rates and distributed among the members and a. few outside bird lovers, at cost price, so the bird larders are full and winter will find feeding tables ready spread and the birds fortified for cold weather.

BIRD STUDY LEAFLETS If there seems to be a sufficient demand for them it is hoped to have prepared a very limited edition of bound sets of the ten Bird Study Leaflets used by the Society in the school work for 1917-18 and 1918-19. The ten leaflets are as follows: Bobolink, Meadowlark, Baltimore and Orchard Orioles, Vesper and Grasshopper Sparrows, Towhee and Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Indigo Bunt- ing and Junco, Scarlet Tanager, Red-eyed and Yellow-throated Vireos, Myrtle and Magnolia Warblers, Bay-breasted and Chestnut-sided Warblers. Each leaflet has text matter giving information as to size and appearance, nesting, migration, food habits, song, etc., of the one or two species covered therein, a colored plate of the birds, and an outline plate for pupils to color. We shall be glad to hear from any members or others who may be interested in this project. Address: New Jersey Audubon Society, 164 Market Street, Newark, N.
