Birds That Destroy Fish.

The report of the chief of the Bureau of
Biological Survey contains the following
statement covering the fish eating birds:
Partly from general study OF the eco
nomic relations OF fish eating birds and
partly from special investigation of the
subject In Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan. II became evident that certain fish
eating birds are pronounced nuisance about
fish hatcheries. The peculiar conditions at
hatcheries that make the visits of fish eating
birds so destructive are that all fishes on
the premises are of valuable kinds and as
they confined In great numbers in shall
low pools they fall easy prey to such birds.
Tor these reasons birds which may be nearly
harmless under natural conditions, preying
chiefly on worthless fishes. the valuable
kinds being in the minority in their habitat.

often highly injurious. The birds which most
