THE FISH WING-STROKE, AFTER THE HAWK's TALONS BECAME FASTENED TO THE 

 BACK OF THE DECOY AND THE BIRD WAS STRUGGLING TO RISE WITH HIS BURDEN 



marshes of the southern seaboard are the 

 herons, skimmers, oyster-catchers, the 

 giant royal terns, and countless others — 

 all possessing their individualities and 

 making their separate impressions. 



A person should not content himself 

 with being told about these bird cities. 

 They are as marvelous in their way as 

 the wonders of the Yellowstone region, 

 and many of them are under the protec- 

 tion and care of the Federal government 

 as are the animals of the National Park. 

 These birds are, therefore, recognized as 

 a part of the nation's resources, and are 

 available for inspection to any well-in- 



tentioned citizen on application. There 

 are at this moment 64 of these wild- 

 life reservations throughout the United 

 States and possessions.
