"A world without birds would be like a flower
arden without flowers. Man, from time im- *
memorial, has hold birds in high esteem. From #
the early caveman days to the present, we see *
evidence of man1a dependence on birds for food,*
plumage, eggs, by-products, insect control, *
sport, friendship and esthetic enjoyment. to
Their beautiful forms and cheerful songs have to
made life heartening for mankind. Today, more *
than ever before, we need birds for the health**
ful and recreational benefits they lend to us *
in this nerve^tightenecl world."

The Ornithology Group of the Outdoor Nature Club met Thursday, liay 5, at 8
o1clock at the office of Mr. L. A. Mcwhirter, 5815 Schuler, Chairman Jimmy Hurray
presided at the meeting. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and
approved. The treasurer, Mrs* Jerry Baker, reported a balance of m>1C5.50 as of
April 30, 1955.
The chairman of field trips, Miss Leota Stilwell, suggested that Galveston is
the best place to observe birds near Houston in the summer. Josiephine Wilkin
made a report of the May 1 census. It seems it will be probable that about 200
species of birds were seen. It will not be as good as previous years when in
1953, 221 species were noted, and in 1954, 230 species were seen. Mrs. v/ilkin
presented two species for identification. One was a Kentucky warbler and the
other too immature to identify.
Mr. Joe Heiser, Jr. announced that on May 28 and 29 a census will be made of
birds nesting in the Little Thicket Sanctuary.
Two new members, Mr. and Mrs. Henry V. Aldrich of 431 Knipp Road told of feeding birds this winter when two red-breasted nuthatches fed with them all vinter.
