On second thought, don't!
tount Broadway out.
Even there you can watch the
seagulls wheel overhead, spot i
in occasional falcon that nest
n the fastnesses of Manhattan
kyscrapers, see pigeons, spar-
•ows, assorted insects and even
nigratory birds.
Within five minutes walk of!
Broadway, moreover, you can
>e in New York's Central Park,
in oasis in the concrete and as-
phalt wastes of the metropolis
ind one of the finest grounds
n the East for observing birds.
Vs many as 79 species have been
leen there in a single day. Some
lave been really rare.
Almost within eyeshot of the
:owers of New York you can
5nd deer, bald eagles, beaver
ind other denizens of the wild
—if you look in the right places.
All this is no argument that
rou should go to a big city for
1 nature study vacation, but just
in indication of what you run
lo no matter where you may be.
ki a suburban neighborhood,
lou can find a wealth of birds!
plants, trees, insects and even
i run a Is for identification and
jbservation.

AS a hobby and as a vacation
‘ * pastime, nature study is
booming.
During the past quarter of a
.'entury, eight million school
children have come to know
something about birds in Audu-
bon Society clubs Additional
millions have studied birds and
flowers, fish and animals in Boy!
Scout or Girl Scout work or in f
summer camps.
That lies behind the sale of!
175,000 copies of a single bird
?uide, and the estimate of the ■
Audubon Society that h-,lf ,if' P-a-Lme, y u \vi,I fm i uflv;’

There are excellent guides al-

I piece of equipment. Unless you
l are going to shoot landscape!
and trees rather exclusively
you will want a portrait attach

some of your subject.- for bei
results, with due attention ti
lighting and background.
Better not load yourself wit!
too much specialized equipment
of any kind unless you want tc
work instead of vacation. A
notebook is as indispensable, and
| compact, as anything.
If you fool in need of moral
I support for your endeavors
you can get in touch with any
number of bird clubs, garden
Ciiibs and the like. Neai !v ev-
ery large community has them.
There are even nature study
I camps — many of them foi

j eiety camps at Kerrville. Tex
I Norden, Calif., Hog Island, Me.,
and Greenwich, Conn , hold sev-
eral sessions each summer for
leaders.
If your nature study vacation
has given you a real taste for
the pastime, you will find after
