Introduction
By Harry C. Parker, Park Naturalist
In line with one of the objects of the Crater Lake Natural History
Association, namely, "to aid in the distribution of information on all
subjects pertaining to the Park," this 1952 number of CRATER LAKE NATURE
NOTES is offered to the public.
A dedicated staff presented a very successful public program in the
Park during the summer. The material in this magazine is the result of
activities on the part of the staff which are seldom brought to the
notice of the public - the gathering of new information in order to
enrich the knowledge of our Park. The results from such efforts serve to
document the talks, exhibits and other presentations by the naturalists
to the public.
One of the more extensive of these, a monograph on the birds of the
Park by Dr. Donald S. Farner, has recently been published by the
University of Kansas Press with the Crater Lake Natural History
Association as co-sponsor and the agent financing the printing. Any
person interested in obtaining a copy should send $1.40 to the Executive
Secretary, Crater Lake Natural History Association, Box 97, Crater Lake,
Oregon.
