Have observed minks carrying trout just caught; blue jays 

 eating song birds' eggs. Have occasionally found remains ot 

 grouse which I judged to be killed by fox. 



C. BROOKS, Conneaut Center: 



Have seen the Cooper's and Sharp-shinned hawks many 

 times ca.tch small chickens. 



GEORGE P. RYAN, Longs Stand: 



Having always lived in the country and been a hunter, I 

 might give hundreds of cases where owls, hawks, foxes, skunks, 

 opossums, minks and weasels have killed game, most all kinds 

 of birds and poultry. The crane destroys more fish than king- 

 fishers, and the German carp more than all.

 Hawks.

We have had some chickens killed by hawlis, but they have 

 also destroyed many meadow mice and snakes.

Owls and hawks destroy young game birds— have seen it —

 etc.
