PG. 8, SEC. 2-PUINDEALER-NOV. 22, 1968 AUDUBON CLUB LOOKS FORWARD TO FILM SERIES Illinois Audubon society isa-f gain sponsoring a series of fullcolor motion pictures at James Simpson theater in the Field Museum of Natural History, Roosevelt road and Late Shore drive, Chicago. Outstanding naturalists describe the films in person. All of the five programs are on Sundays and begin at 2*30 p.m. Hie public is welcome, free of charge. Members of McHenry chapter of the IAS are taking advantage of the opportunity to see these exceptional wildlife films and are anticipating the second of the 1968-69 series (Hi Dec. 1. In this one, entitled "Four Seasons" a year in British Columbia is portrayed by the noted CanSSian lecturer, Wilfred E. Gray. Beginning with early spring on the coast, Mr. Gray follows nesting geese, grouse in malting dances, frolicking bear cubs and spawning salmon. He ends with Pacific gales crashing against cliffs. On Jan. 12, Walter H. Berlet visits " Hawaii, Paradise of the Pacific" on March 23, C. P. Lyons roams "This Earth, This Realm, Hiis England"; on April 13, John D. Bulger travels "Mid RIVOTS of North America". / The McHenry County Bird club looks forward also to ,an exciting year of its own field trips. The planning meeting held at the James Hecht home in Bull Valley outlined a schedule which Mil include only three indoor meetings ~ in January, February and December, 1969. In the other months they anticipate seeing bald eagles, a blue heron rookery, and a great variety of birds in wildlife refuges and havens, marshes, prairies and an arboretum on day excursions and campouts,, Details cannot yet be divulged because further information must be obtained fay committees. A " people watcher" tree sparrow was only one of the surprises for the birdwatchers that day. This curious fellow was among those who fluttered almost within reach of the hikers, who were being led by Charles Westcott, the ranger, through this Crabtree forest preserve area. The naturalist again proved himself an excellent guide, who when no birds seemed to be anywhere near the paths down which his followers were filing, would make noises that were a combination of whistle, hiss and sigh - not an imitation of any bird call but something the. birds . med to consider an alarm and to which they responded by coming to investigate. When the tree sparrow appeared, Westcott laughed, "Here's my friend who shows 19 almost every time we walk this way." Another surprise was a great blue heron who was staying long past his migration date with the Canada geese, wood ducks, mallards, pintails, shovelers, green winged teal and widgeons on Crabtree lake. There were even a couple of gadwalls and two snow geese which Westcott surmised had been victims of hunters. The geese had probably been in the flocks of thousands which had flown over Crabtree and on south. Unable to fly farther, these two had apparently decided to rest at Crabtree. If they recover soon enough from their wounds, instinct will make them resume their migration, but if they cannot continue they will have food, water and shelter through the winter on the lake which has proven such a haven. ° Of the forty-four bird species identified that day. others of. those seen along the trail were red breasted nuthatches, a brown creeper, hairy and downy woodpeckers and robins. Above them, hawks soared. But interesting as they all were, they had rivals. Westcott invited his birders to gather around him as he stood beside a discarded piece of farm machinery in a field. Suddenly he lifted a lidofitto reveal momentarily a bevy of big brown eyes before they disappeared into the bins that are their homes. In a world too often torn with violence and ugliness the club feels such gentle creatures as mice, birds and waterfowl are a welcome sight. The peace and beauty of such mornings as this are important reasons why new names are continually being added to the membership roll of the McHenry County Bird club. DON'T START Cigarette smoking is popular and widespread. It is also damaging and deadly. Parents and teachers must set examples. Habits established early in youth are hardest to break. Most of the 15 year old smokers remain smokers. This can lead to serious respiratory diseases and other chronic diseases. Two words make such sense: DON'T START!
