Falco sparverius)

Length, about ten inches. This is
one of the best known and handsom.
est, as we'll as the smallest, of North
American hawks.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States, Canada, and northern
Mexico; winters in the United States
and south to Guatemala.
Habits and economic status: The
sparrow hawk, which is a true falcon,
lives In the more open country and
builds its nest in hollow trees. It is
abundant in many parts Of the West,
where telegraph poles afford It con-
venient perching and feeding places.
It's food consists of insects, small
mammals, birds, spiders, and reptiles.
Grasshoppers. crickets, and terrestrial
beetles and caterpillars make up con-
siderably more than half its subsist-
ence, while field mice. house mice,
and shrews cover fully rs per cent
of it's annual supply. The balance OF
the food includes birds, reptiles, and
spiders. Contrary to the usual habits
OF the species, some individuals during
the breeding season capture nesting
birds for food for their young and
create considerable havoc among the
songsters of the neighborhood. In ag-
ricultural districts when new ground
is broken BY the pfow, they sometimes
become very tame, even alighting for
an instant under the horses in their
endeavor to seize worm or insect.
Out Of 40 stomachs examined, 3l4
were found to contain insects; 129,
small mammals; and 10, small birds.
This little falcon renders good service
in destroying noxious insects and
rodents and should be encouraged and
protected.
