HARD WINTER FOR HAWKS
Unable to obtain a Living in Wlnsteo,
Large Falcon Perishes
Miserably.

Winsted, Conn.-Loyal Higley OF
Canton, on going to his hennery the
other morning, found, lying dead in
front of the door, one of the largest
hawks seen in these parts in years.
APPARENTLY the bird had succumbed to
starvation due to inability to get food,
this hard winter.
Harvey Brown of Pennington saw
brown animal making good time
across the fields of snow and gave
chase and the animal climbed tree.
He managed to kill it and thought that
he had a coon until it was on the
ground, and then found that it was
