iably moves il. flocks. / stood up, but the bird did not fly.
Since / was almost above it and very close, this surprised me
me even more. Il waved my hand. The bird ran out in the water
as far as it dared, but did not fly. Now / saw the reason for
this apparent tameness. A useless, broken wing was clutched
Ito its side. It gave a frightened peep and fluttered, half wet,
Ion the beach. Again and again it stoutly tried to raise itself
into the air, but the injured wing refused to obey the brave
heart. I stood there and pityfully watched this little birds
supreme effort to leave the land and get into the skies. Here
he was alone on a foreign beach, helpless, all his friends gone
and the enemy just above him. Far away he knew there were
happy cries and whisting wings. Summer on the nesting
grounds Of his tribe. But he would never know such things
again. His wings were broken and he could not fly. He hob
,bled away down the beach.
I knew a man once that drowned himself in his own
L"sprat net" I found a Yellow breast once hung by his own
claw! Among the items that this bird had used to build his
home were some hairs from a horses tail. In weaving the
nest one Of these had somehow become entwined around the
birds neck. The more the bird pulled to rid himself Of the
hair the tighter it became. When 4 found this little fellow
he must have been dead for a long time for he was very
light and very dry.
He walked the same street every day. One day they
were making repairs to it and a small hose was stretched on
the ground. The man didn't see it, tripped on it and broke
his leg. 1t was a small garden, but I worked rather hard in
it and so, when my neighbours goats commenced eating my
precious vegetables, I decided to wire it in. / put up a six
foot mesh fence all around. | forgot about the flock of quail
that used to help keep this plot free of insects. Entering the
plot soon after the new fence was up, I scared the quail into
sudden flight. There were four dull thuds from the fence
and feathers flying in the air. Sadly, I gathered four of my
friends up with broken neeks! Oh yes, birds do suffer acct
dents.
Once fishing in Lover Love gut as a boy. | heard a per-
sistent Tapping from the vicinity Of a mountain cabbage tree.
Upon investigating the noise what should I find but a large
pigeon hanging by its leg. On rescuing this bird we found
that somehow it had become entangled with a strip of palm
leaf. The bird must have hung there many days since it was
completely emaciated and died soon after release.
Some time ago our electric current went off with a loud
report and flashing sparks from the transformer in the yard.

STICKS FROM THE HAWKS NEST

by George a. Seaman, Widlfe Supervisor
A question often asked is, do wild things get hurt?a In
other words, do birds and beasts suffer accidents the same as
human beings do? The answer is, Eyes, they do Then, Of
course, the natural following question is, "hoW then. do we
so seldom see any wounded or hurt birds or animals?
It is true that as a rule wild things possess amazing re-
Operative injuries that in like circumstances would be fatal
to man. It is also true that in the realm Of nature only those
who practice eternal vigilance survive. We seldom discover
sick or wounded wildlife for a very good reason: Such birds
or beasts Immediately fall prey to their enemies. There are
no good doctors and hospitals for a deer caught in a wire
moose or a bird with a broken wing.
I recently observed an amusing incident which only by
the closest shave did not end up in sudden tragedy Quail
dove (Barbary dove) picking up gravel on the road was dis
turbed by my approaching Jeep. Gracefully Tipping off the
road he landed in the bush about twenty feet away-right
in the mouth of a waiting mongoose! There was an explosive
Tapping of wings, a shower Of dried leaves and a very dis
appointed mongoose covered in feathers. Hurting away like
a bullet was the Quail dove which had almost lost its life by
letting up on its vigilance.
One Of the saddest accidents I have ever observed was
a Turnstone with a broken wing. In this case it was not just
a bird that couldn't fly. It was much, much more than this.
Turnstones belong to that large group Of migrants known
commonly as "sharebirds", locally as "snipe". They travel
in small flocks and cover tremendous distances in their
yearly Wanderings from north to south, from cold to warmth.
They like our island and visit us every year from September
to April. They are often to be seen on the beach or wharf in
Frederiksed.
One day on the south shore of the island a small object
moving along the beach attracted my attention. at this point
the limestone bluff was rather sheer So | erept carefully to
the edge and looked over to see what this bird or animal
might be. From the shelter of some grape bushes / saw a
.Turnstone nervously running along the beach was some
what surprised to see a single bird, since this species invar-
