SPARROW HAWK 





ONLY FOUR MEMBERS OF THE HAWK FAMILY ARE OUR ENEMIES 

 The four hawks whose names are underscored are the ones that give a bad name to the whole hawk family. 

 Of these the Cooper's Hawk is most important because commonest and most widely distributed. The Gos- 

 hawk, restricted to the Northern wooded region, is terribly destructive to game birds and to poultry. The 

 Sharp-shin, an inveterate bird-killer, is too small to molest poultry, except chicks a few days old. The 

 Pigeon Hawk is not important, being quite rare.
