of "sneaking admiration" for the race

of the freedom of the fields and the

farmers wrath.
The officials Of the biological survey
worked trying to devise means to
abate the plague of prairie dogs, which
have increased greatly in numbers
recently. The red-tailed and his
brother hawks dearly love prairie
dogs The farmer and the ranchman
killed the hawks. thinking that by SO
doing they were saving their chickens.
The prairie dogs began to multiply in
the absence of the hawks and man
found out once more that he should
not try to interfere with the nice ad-
justment Of natures economy.

these hawks are cowardIy. Possessed
of weapons with which they can kill

crow.
Not long since l saw a huge red
tailed hawk sitting on fencepost at
the corner of field. A crow was
perched in tree overhead. Sudden
ly corvus shot down and gave the red
tail thump with his wing and a
stroke with his bill. The hawk took
the affront with most unbecoming

hawk which had met strange fate.
The bird was hanging by the tendons
or its wing from the barb OF u wire
fence. Unquestionably it had been
the wire strand In full flight. The
impetus acquired had been such that
the hawk had swung twice around the
wire with its wing fast to the barb.
1t had perished miserably, while some
bird or mouse lived to congratulate
itself on its narrow escape from the
enemy.
1t is the red-tailed hawk (buteo
borealis) which perhaps is the only
bird that has taken its own photo
graph. Robert w. Hegner, a bird
photographer and field student
climbed GO feet into a tree, and,
training his camera on a red-tairs
nest, fastened thread to the shutter
and then passed the other end around
the nest In a loop. The mother hawk
returned, and in getting into the nest,
pulled the thread. snapped the shutter
and took her own picture.
The fish-hawk or osprey (pandion
haiiaetus carolinensis) eats little ex-
cept fish, and strangely enough. the
bird is protected by the shore fisher
men, whose prey 1t shares. 1t is said
strangely enough" because inland
fishermen kill the kingfsher on sight
because it eats a few trout.
1t was the sight of bald eagle rob
bing the fish-hawk of its hard-earned
food that made one OF the fathers of
the republic protest strongly against
the choice of the eagle as the bird
emblem of America.
