Excerpt from Bulletin of the Michigan Ornithological Club, Vol. 4: Published Quarterly in the Interests of Ornithology in the Great Lake Region, March 1903 I am well satisfied in my own mind that state ornithological clubs are of great benefit to the science at large; further, such organizations keep the members in touch with each other, and when a journal is published, give an opportunity for individuals to contribute ornithological matter, which has been developed under personal observation, and will not only interest fellow members, but be a record of permanent value. Moreover the work of an organization in every channel fol lowed is very much greater' than the sum total of the work of the individual members.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Michigan Ornithological Club, 1903, Vol. 4: An Illustrated Quarterly Magazine Devoted to the Ornithology of the Great Lake Regio On July 2d, at 6 A. M., I started out and crossing the river bottom I caine to a steep terrace which' forms the edge of the Norway plains. This slope is very wet, and in places fine springs seep out. Here also is a dense growth of cedar with tamarack near'the foot of the terrace. Fir, balm of Gilead and birch make up the timber. Climbing this slope I found a rather level plain with scattering Norway and jack pines. In places these have been cut off, and in their stead there has sprung up a more or less thick growth of small jack pines, yellow oak and poplar (populus grandidentata Michx) The ground is covered with a mat of Wintergreen (gaulthem'a [iromunbmzs L), sweetfern and trailing arbutus (epigaea repens I was walking slowly through this, watching the junco (funco hyemalz's song sparrow (melospiza fasciata chipping sparrow (spizella so aiolis Wils) and the vesper sparrow (poocaetes gmmz'neus Gmel.) - the most common bird of these plains - when suddenly I heard a new song, loud.

The Muskegon, the Tittabawasse and the South Branch all have their sources here. This county consists of high ridges and plains, formerly covered with white pine (Finns strobns), Norway pine (Finns resinosa Ait.), jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), some hemlock (Tsuga canadensis, Linn.), yellow birch (Bclnla lulca Michx. f.), and paper birch (Bctula papyrifera Marsh.).

The view also shows the general character of country. white cedar (Chamaccyparis thyoides Linn.), balm of Gilead (Populus balsamijera Linn.), basswood (Tilia amcricana Linn.) and red maple (Acer rubrum Linn.). I noticed also the white elm (Ulmus amcricana Linn.) and a few black ash (Fraximts nigra Marsh.). The river here is from three to four rods wide with a sandy, gravelly bottom and the current is quite swift. In places the banks are high and covered with Norway and jack pine.
