THE BIRDS 



Fig. 25. — Red-shouldered Hawk and family. This is one of our large hawks, 

 commonly styled "Hen Hawk," but unjustly so, as the bulk of its feed is rats, mice 

 and other injurious rodents. (Photo by B. S. Bowdish, Secretary, New Jersey 

 Audubon Society.) 



Fig. 26. — White-breasted Nuthatch on hand. Showing how kindness and 

 feeding can tame a wild bird and make of one of our most valuable tree guards an 

 intimate bird neighbor. (Photo by B. S. Bowdish, Secretary-, New Jersey Audubon 

 Society.)
