President’s Message

Published in 1971

I am sure all AOS members are delighted with teh passage by the State Legislature of the bill protecting all Alabama birds of prey. I would like to urge all the membership to express appreciation to Representative Jim Wood of Mobile who sponsored this needed piece of legislation. We should all make every effort to give this new conservation law the best possible publicity in order to make it effective and to protect these beleagured species from wanton shooting.
