AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGY. 



WHICH IS WHICH ? 



The above illustration is from a photograph of two pigeon hawks. 

 One of them is a live bird and the, other is a mounted specimen. 

 Can you pick out the live bird? This picture is one of a series taken 

 of this little hawk, and we have been considerably amused by the at- 

 tempts of those who have seen them, to locate the one that is alive. As 

 the score now stands, about nine out of every ten have decided that the 

 mounted bird is the live one, and we concluded that possibly many of 

 our subscribers might like to judge for themselves before we announce 

 which is the real bird. The story of this hawk in captivity will be giv- 

 en in the next number. 



We should like to have all those who think that they can tell, to mail 

 us a card stating which of the two birds, the right or left hand one, is 

 alive.
