| thrilling fight in midair between .
blacksnakc and a chicken hawk The
hawk flnitered down from the top of
mountain acting a. if il had been
wounded, and when it came in range
he could see that it was fighting with
snake which was wrapped about its
body and gradually squeezing the life
out of it. The snake would poke its
head up as if to bite the hawk in the
head, and the hawk would peek at the
snake with its sharp bill.
The fight was continued until the life
was almost crushed from the hawk
which then fell 10 the ground. Mr.. Rail
examined and found the snake
wrapped three times around the
hawks body, the bones of which were
crushed and broken Both bird and
reptile were in the throes of death.
Each had killed the other in their mid
air battle.
1t is supposed the hawk had attempt-
ed to carry the snake away in its tai
ons, and that the snake coiIed about
the hawk and began its fight for life.
