FISH HAWKS NESTS.
A Curious Study in Natural History Along
the Jersey Coast.


People who visit the northern coast
counties of New Jersey in summer are
struck with the curious, bulky nests of
the fish hawks, which are SO common
in that locality. These nests are about
three feet across and about two feet
deep, and are nothing more or less than
a big heap of brush and dead branches.
The hawks are protected in these cOun-
ties by the impression that they bring
good luck. so that no one would think
of even so much as throwing a stone at
one of the big birds, much less shoot at
one.
There is no sign of spring so salts
factory to farmers along the coast as
the coming of fish hawks. The com
ing and going Of these birds are pecul-
lar. You get up some morning IN
April and they are here. After their
young are hatched and grown up it is
October, and you get up some morning
and find them gone. The same birds
come back year after year, and they
occupy the same nest, which always
needs a bit of rebuilding and occupies
the birds for few weeks.
1t is generally believed that there is
a law protecting fish hawks, but it is a
mistake. There is an unwritten law,
and well-obeyed one, of custom. A
bow is told that he must not disturb the
birds. and he does not. The good treat
ment that the hawks have received has
made them so tame that their nests are
built in doOryards and by the rOadsldes,
and the naturally timid birds have nc
fear of mankind The fish hawk Is
/ found along many of the inland waters
of the state, but it is impossible to get
near them, and it is rare thing to hnd
a nest. They are the shyest Of birds IL
! these places.
! Years ago the fisher fOlk'On the coast
used to think that if fish hawk bull
/ it's nest on ones land it was an omen o.
good luck. and that success would GER
tainly follow him in whatever pursuit
he should undertake, and although
there is less of such feeling now, those
who own property on which the hawks
! build welcome them in the spring as al
old acquaintance, and look anxiously
for their coming as soon as the wlnte
breaks
Fish hawks get their entire foot
supply from the water. Their eyes arr
SO constructed that even at grea
heights they can see fish that swim
near the surface, and then dive will
lightning speed. The fish is caugh
in the claws, and is taken to the nes
of the bird before being eaten. Th

and catch hard crab, and when tn

a passion with the Siamese that they
will stake, not only all their money
and their goods, but even their wives
and children. The right to keep fight

and is so highly paid for that the royal

The daughters of the two families

This friendly intercourse continued
until the feud broke out, and all neigh

At all events the hatchet was dug

ODD THINGS EATEN BY BIRDS.
Queer Articles Sometimes Find Resting
Place in Their Stomachs.


Some very odd things are come across
by the OrnithOlOgists who are engaged
in examining the StOmachS OF various
kinds of birds for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what they eat and how much
of the crops they destroy. In the
stomach of crow was found war
bier. The stomach Of the warbler con-
tanned caterpillar, and traces OF the
vegetation on which the latter had fed
were clearly discerned under the micro
scope. Another oddity discovered in the
stomach of crow was a rubber elastic
band. which had evidently been picked
up by mistake for worm. Once IN
awhile bedbug is found in the stom-
ach of a wOOdpecker. Doubtless the
insects are got from pine trees. Pine
cones are often infested by bedbugs,
which must have lived on those trees
long before they became human para
sites. Ticks, too, which likewise breed
on trees, are discovered occasionally IN
birds stOmachs. though so rarely as to
suggest that the feathered creatures
are afraid of them and would avoid
! them, as rule

ordinarily counted by their jaws. For
example, caterpillars have soft bodies,
which are quickly digested, leaving
their jaws to be gradually ground up
and disposed of in the gizzard. The
Jaws of beetles, caterpillars and grass
hoppers are made of one of the most
enduring substances in nature, being
nearly as hard as the teeth Of mann
mails. They are very characteristic, so
that the difference may readily be told
between those of a cricket, grasshop-
per, locust, etc. The jaws found in
the stomach of bird counted and di'
vided by two, which gives the number
of insects represented. Cuckoos are
the only birds that eat hairy caterpil-
lars so far as is known. The horny
Innings of their gizzards are sometimes
found so thicl1ly perforated by the
sharp and strong hairs of these insects

hawk will fly away with big ell
wriggling in its claws that a man
could not hold thirty seconds with both
hands. The hawks sometimes, how
ever, will dive at things they do not
want, and thing occurred few years
ago which is worth telling.
A steamer was passing Seabright. 1t
was big coaster from Savannah to
New York, and lady on board lost
overheard a handsome and valuable
lace shawl, which floated away after
striking the water. The passengers,
being interested, watched the shawl as
far as they could see it. and finally
saw a fish hawk dive at it, get
it fast in his claws, and fly inland with
it. The lady was very much put out at
losing the article and advertised re-
ward for the same. A lineman took
notion he could get the shawl after
hearing the circumstances, and with
his spurs he started to pay visit to
every fish hawks nest in the county
Immediately back of Seabright. The
shawl was found hanging on the side
of a nest on the Lewis White farm, near
Little Silver. What the hawk wanted
with the shawl is hard to tell, for
| hawks use no such thing in building
| their nests
| The top of fish hawks nest is as
rough as the sides, and without any de
preston; the eggs would roll Off,
but that the top of the nest is toe
rough for them to move. The tame
ness of the hawks has in many cases
made them nuisance. They build on
telephone poles, on chimneys and cupo
las of houses. and it is sometimes nee
essary to construct cupOlas so they cab
not get any landing place, for the
hawks do not mind in the least having
their nests torn up. They build again
right away.
A story is told of a pair of hawks
that built a nest one year in a small
apple tree on the Hance property, on
Rumson Neck. The nest was built on
part of the tree which could not stand
the weight. and it broke down. The
hawks built in another part and high
wind came and entirely uprOOted the
tree. The birds then. for the third
time, built their nest in the hole where
the tree had been, and when they had
hatched out their young weasel killed
them all, and they had to give up rails
ing family that season.
1t is enormously stated that the trees
in which fish hawks build die soon
afterward. The truth is the trees more
eften improve. The hawks select an
old scraggy tree, and, being about
dead, it does die, but more often the
trees improve from the fertilization
given by the particles of fish dropped
by the hawks about the trees Within
a radius of five miles from Long Branch
inland there are 10 less than five hun
dred of these great, scraggy, awkward
nests, but they form part of the pic
turesqueness of the scenery, and are
part of it's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
