8 : Horth-Westehesfer Times, Mt. Kisco, N. Y., Jan. 15, 1959 Annual Bird, Mammal Count Finds 18,000; 78 Species Te annual Member Participa tion Night of the Bedford Audubon Society was held in the Bedford Hills Community House Friday evening. Illness prevented Presi dent Nicholas Shoumatoff from taking the chair. Mrs. George Lit tle presided in his stead. The possibility of the Bedford Audubon sponsorship of a series of Audubon Screen Tours next year was discussed and the idea was favorably received by those pres ent. The wide appeal of these na tionally known lectures to the peo ple of the community and their value in conservation education are the main factors on which the board of directors will base its fi nal decision. Ralph Odell announced the next field trip of the Society will be on Jan. 24 to Westport to look for win tering ducks and shore birds. The meeting place will be the Bedford Village green at 8-30 a.m. Snow buntings and larks have been reported in the area and many ducks are offshore. Slides Shown Eugene Decker, resident direc tor of the Westmoreland Sanctu ary, presented a series of slides of the sanctuary and told of the work which is being done to attract wildlife. Mr. Decker invited every one to visit the sanctuary which is a naturalist's paradise. He con ducts guided tours for groups and his enthusiasm is contagious. Leslie Pearl, a member of the board of directors of the Bedford Auduborn Society and a member of the Linnaean Society was the next speaker. Mr. Pearl had se lected slides from his collection which illustrated camouflage in nature. Nests and fledglings were hidden so successfully that in sev eral cases Mr. Pearl had to point them out to the audience Mr. Pearl's slides showed him to be an expert photographer as well as an excellent naturalist. Pictures taken on the Society's Cape May trip last fall by Mr. Shoumatoff showed some of the many exciting experiences which mav bp depended on for this an nual pilgrimage fo watch the fall migration. Mr. Odell commented on the scenes in Mr. Shoumatoff's absence with additional remarks by those present who had gone on the trip. A guest of Edward Hamilton told briefly of the big game which in habit his home state of Wyoming. Grouped around the room were bird portraits by one of Bedford's most talented members. Mrs. Ja- vius Matsumoto was prevented by illness from being present but her bird pictures and slides were greatly admired. Miss Helen Braem set up Mrs. Matsumoto's exhibits. $18,000 Birds Counted The remainder of the meeting was given over to Mr. Odell for a report of the annual bird and mammal count of the society. The count for 1958 was the highest it has ever been, the total going over 18,000 v.hich is an increase of nearly 1,000 over last year. Seven ty-eight species were reported. Among the unusual birds were the Arctic three-toed woodpecker, pi- lea ted woodpecker, red-breasted nut hatch, olive-back and hermit thrush, swamp sparrow, winter Carolina and long-billed marsh wrens and pine grosbeaks. Fewer ducks were seen due to lack of open water but rough-leg hawk made the list. The increase on the number of birds reported, Mr. Odell believes, is not only because there is more food available to them this year but because more people partici pated in the count. It was what bird watchers call a \good day\. The number of wintering robins is unusual but they appear to be well fed and happy at the lack of snow. Additional mammals for the year were woodchuck and grey fox. A complete report of the cen sus will appear in the bulletin at a later date. Mrs. Hirsch Rogosin was host ess for the evening for the coffee hour which followed the meeting.
