Mounted Specimens
Birds Received
At State Museum

Three beautifully mounted Arctic
Owls, a. pair of Murre's, a big Cos
hawk, two American Mergansers or
Fish-Ducks, and a rare Hawk owl,
were received at the State museum
yesterday and have been placed in
one of the big glass cases. where
they will be on exhibition from now
on. Ralph Coombs, curator of the
Museum, is much pleased with the
newly arrived specimens, especially
the Hawk-Owl. This rare bird par
takes of the characteristics of both
the Hawk and Owl families" he said
yesterday. "You will note that the
bird has a typically owlish face and
its eyes are those of an owl On the
other hand, it has the long tail
typical of the hawk. and It's wings
are hawk like Curiously. this bird
hunts both night and day. appearing
to have excellent vision in the dark
and not being handicapped, as is the
owl, in daylight. This places It
among the most destructive of all
birds as regards smaller birds and
mice, on which it feeds"
