The Turkey Vulture and Its Young 



187 



days more would have elapsed before it would take final leave of its native 

 place, making the period between hatching and flight eight or nine 

 weeks. 



This ended a series of visits to this interesting bird, during which a good 

 opportunity was afforded of watching its growth from the egg to maturity, 

 and also of obtaining a number of records with the camera, which, by the 

 way, were secured only under strong protest on the part of the subject.

Questions for Bird Students 



In beginning a series of ' Questions for Bird Students ' in our issue for 

 December, 1902, we announced that they would be continued throughout 

 the year, and that in our issue for December, 1903, we should have an 

 interesting statement to make concerning them. 



The questions have covered a wide range of subjects relating to birds, 

 and while it may have been fancied that access to an extensive ornithological 

 library would be needed to reply to them all, the truth is that the answer 

 to every question may be found in Bird-Lore! At least two of our 

 readers seem to have discovered this fact, and we have received correct re- 

 plies to the whole thirty-one questions from Ruth Galpin and Frederick 

 J. Stupp.
