Transcript | a ■k -k "k ic -k Volume XI No. 20 December, 1963 A A few years ago, on a Tuesday night, * during a meeting of my old bird club, * the Linnaean Society of New York, I sat * in the back of the room where I could see * everyone present. There were boys not yet * seventeen, men past seventy; several * housewives; a man who lived in a hall bed- * room in lower Brooklyn, and at least two * millionaires. There was one banker, a * publisher, a cartographer, two lawyers, * at least three physicians, a playwright, * two artists, assorted businessmen, and * at least one man with no visible means * of support. A lad of particularly dull * intellect sat near John Kieran, paragon * of quick wit and fabulous memory. What is * the common denominator? Here is a chall- * engingopportunity for a group survey by * some analyst. Instead of a behavior * study of birds, why not a behavior study * of bird watchers? R.T.
