RHODE ISLANDS SACRED BIRD.
Strange ms 1t May Seem. 1t Is Not the Qua
haug but the Fish Hawk.

While in Noluntown, near the Rhode Island
State line, recently, was shown large clump
OF forest trees just within the border Of Little
Rhody," which was literally blackened with Ash
hawks nests. The farmer who took me TO the
spot told that the fish hawk or osprey was
a sacred bird in that State. and said that Rhode
Island alone OF all the New England States pro-
tected the life OF this maestically soaring crea-
ture by law. All up and down the line between
Connecticut and Rhode Island are TO be seen tho
results from this protection vouchsaied by our
neghbor. On our side Of the fence for miles
and miles scarcely nest Of this great bird is
10 he found. while in Rhode Island the nests are
everywhere. even in the tops OF the chimneys
of old houses. Some Of the nests are within
such easy reach Of the ground that the wonder
Is that eggs and young are preserved from the
itching palm OF the school boy and from the
predatory animals.
So far as known there is only one pair OF Ash
hawks resident in southeastern Conn ecticuL
These haunt the lower waters Of the Thames
River and Fishers Island Sound but their nest,
instead Of being near by their fishing grounds
as il the case in Rhode Island, Is ten miles in.
land, in the top Of one Of the tnllest and most
inaccessible pine trees in Pine Swamp, in the
y On the other side Of the Rhode Island line these
birds have been protected 50 l9hE 'hat they are
flap carelesSly about almost everywhere, out
side Of the settlements, People 10 the manner
born, never think of touching them. II ia no
uncommon spectacle TO see six OF eight OF tho
great nests al one look over strip OF field and
woodland.
The Voluntown farmer said In this connection:
Yes the Ash hawks are protected over there, but
there's nothing sentimental about IT, They pro
tect the Rhode Island farmers in a way. The
latter hold that the fish hawk drives away the
hen hawk and similar birds by his rather cum
bersome appearance. This is the reason why the
State passed a general statute protecting his life
A fine OF $50 is rigidly imposed upon any one
found guilty Of killing OF disturbing fish hawks
in any serious manner. This law has been en-
forced so long that a Rhode Islander would about
as soon think of shooting one OF his prize fowls as
OF killing a fish hawk.
There is no doubt that the FISH hawks are worth
the care taken OF them. My fowls. even on this
side of the line, rarely troubled by hen hawks.
and my neighbors' fowls are not About all tho
damage the fish ha wk does Is 10 kill the trees he
builds his nest on. He usually selects an elm
tree TO build on, returning there year after year.
1T is the clustering OF the hawks about the
schools Of soup tporges) in the spring looking
for food. that gives the first knowledge the fisher
men have of the arrival Of these valued food FISH,
The favor done the fishermen by the birds timely
