Notes from the Indiana Sand Dunes 



sued circling back through the midst of its 

 pursuers, if they show any signs of lagging. I 

 have seen them clash and fall to the ground in 

 a rather serious encounter. The adults with 

 their bright red heads seem just as youthful 

 in spirits as the brown-headed young, and alto- 

 gether they are the most jolly lot of play- 

 fellows imaginable. A marsh-hawk sailing in 

 among them evidently causes little apprehen- 

 sion; they dodge at a pinch, but the hawk is 

 not out of sight before they are as noisy as 

 ever.
