on birds and chickens ~chargeable
against hawks Is committed by three
species the COoper's hawk, the sharp
Skinned hawk and the goshawk. The
armer's boy should learn TO know
these daring robbers by sight so as to
Kill them whenever possible.
From the foregoing Il will at once
appeal that the practice OF Offering
bounties lndiscrlminately for the heads
OF hawks aud owls. as has been done
by some states. is a serious mistake.
'Field observations OF the food habits
or birds serve a useful purpose, bur
they are rarely accurate enough TO be
fully reliable. The presence or certain
birds in a corn or wheat held or In an
orchard Is by no means proof, as Is TOO
often assumed. that they are devastat-
ing the grain or fruit. They may have
been attracted by insects, which. I'M
known TO the farmer or orchardist, are
running his crop. Hence IL has been
found necessary 10 examine the stom-
achs and crops OF birds TO ascertain
definitely what and how much they
eat. The biological survey has In this
way examined upward OF $1,000 birds
most OF which have been obtained dur
Ing the last twenty-five years from sci
entiHc collectors. for u birds are too
useful to be sacrificed when 1t can pos
sibly be avoided, even for the sake OF
obtaining data upon which TO base leg
lslation for their protection.
Birds All Great Eaters.
1T Is interesting TO observe that
hungry birds-and birds are hungry
most OF the time-are not content 10
hlI their stomachs with insects or
seeds. but after the stomach Is stuffed
until II will hold no more continue to
eat tIlI the crop or gullet Is crammed.
Ii Is often the case that when the
stomach Is opened and he contents
piled up the pile Is two or three times
as large as the stomach was when
filed. Birds may truly be said TO
have healthy appetites. To show the as
t~onishing capacity OF a birds stomach
