ness in this direction Is surpassed
only by that of its larger congener,
the goshawk, which occasionally in
autumn and winter enters the United
States from the North in great num-
bers. The almost universal prejudice
against birds OF prey is largely due to
the activities Of these two birds, as
sisted by third. the sharp-shinned
hawk. which In habits and appearance
might well pass for a small Cooper's
hawk. These birds usually approach
under cover and drop upon unsuspect
ing victims. making great inroads
upon poultry yards and game coverts
favorably situated for this style of
hunting. Out Of 1873 stomachs exam

mammals. Twenty-eight species OF
wild birds were Identified In the above
mentioned material. This destructive
hawk, together with its two near rela-
uves, should be destroyed by every
possible means.
