A few sickly Ducks, unable to fly, weredetected in the flock. No inspection of the large colonies of birds which breed in the state wascalled for this year, and very little field-work was done. It was observed that alarge colony of Terns returned to the Outer Green Island, in Casco Bay, tobreed. A large colony of Black-crowned Night Herons, among which a fewGreat Blue Herons were breeding, was visited in Casco Bay. This is a colonynot previously reported. Early in the winter a local Audubon Society, The Cumberland CountyAudubon Society, was organized in Portland with a gratifying membership.This resulted in uniting the general interest in feeding and otherwise attractingbirds, and inbringing together a large number of bird-lovers for mutual con-sideration of birds and their needs.
