Excerpt from The Journal of the Maine Ornithological Society, Vol. 10: March, 1908 The report of the Secretary and Treasurer was read and referred to the Auditing Committee. The report of the Editor was then read and referred to the Auditing Committee. The following committees were appointed: Nomination: - A. H. Norton, Prof. Knight and Miss Marshall. Resolutions: - J. M. Swain, Miss Lewis. Auditing Committee: - Fred M. David, Sherman H. Phillips. The editor's report showed that there is about the same deficit at the close of this year as there was last. The matter was discussed by Prof. Lee, and Messrs. Brownson and Swain. The following names were proposed for membership by the Secretary: Mr. W. L. Brown, Bigelow; Mrs. W. L. Brown, Bigelow; Roy T. David, Damariscotta; H. E. Flynt, Damariscotta. On motion of Mr. Norton, the Secretary was instructed to cast the vote for the society, and the ballot was cast, and President Lee declared the above elected. President Lee then proceeded to his annual address to the Society, which was listened to with a good deal of enthusiasm. He spoke interestingly of the steady, onward march of the society. He spoke of the many dead birds found and reported extensively over the entire State. Many species were reported during the severe storms of last winter, and especially after the heavy fall of snow that came in April after many of our spring arrivals were here. There were many Goshawks reported last winter and also this present winter. One Pine Grosbeak was found dead at Brunswick last week. This was the only Grosbeak he had seen so far this winter. He spoke extensively of the way Mr. Walter H. Rich's book, Feathered Game of the Northeast, has been received, and suggested that every member should have a copy of this valuable work. He then spoke of Prof. Knights work. The Birds of Maine. that is soon to be ready for distribution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
