Harry B. Iverson, game man-
agement officer for Shackel-
ford and Throckmorton Coun-
ties, was introduced by Mrs-
Diller. Mr. Iverson gave a
most interesting and informa-
tive talk on songbirds of Texas
and especially the mourning
dove.
The conservation of the song
birds is a very integral part of
the work pknned by the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment. The five bundled species
of song birds in Texas are all
protected except four. Tliey
are starlings, English sparrows,
crows and ravens. The band-
ing, trapping and releasing of
doves by 68 officers has shown
that there is a 35 percent de-
crease in the number of
mourning doves. This decline
I may cause a closed season for
I hunting doves in Texas in the
| near future. Following the lec-
! ture, a group question and an-
jswer period was conducted.
I Bird lovers putting out feeders
should he very careful in buy-
ling grain for the feeders. Ti-e
grain sacks are labeled and
should be read carefully, to
