DR.. j. H. Mackay of this city has
, written the following letter to Sandy
Griswold, sporting editor of the Omaha
World-Herald: There has been re.
markable flight of owls this winter.
The migration began last winter, and
| this winter every grove has owls of
several species. The big. cared owl is
very conspicuous, and tufts of fur
and punches of feathers proclaim his
undesirable presence along the Elk
| horn. A neighbor of mine, who Is not
afflicted with multiple vision, saw five
of these birds emerging from tree
a few weeks ago, and so astonished
was he that, although he had his gun
with him, he neglected to shoot until
| they were out of range, This tiger of
| the air does a vast amount of damage
| to game. He catches the quail hud-
died at night and is capable of de-
vouring several every night. A pair
of these birds can destroy all the
game on a farm during the winter He
is a rascal and has no redeeming fea-
lures during the winter in Nebraska
Number shot for him. BY the way,
if you should wing one, keep your dog
away, You might wish to use the dog
! afterwards. j II. Mackay.
