 WEIGHING FROM 20 TO 25 POUNDS, THIS OLD CONDOR HAD TO BACK-PADDLE 

 VIGOROUSLY IN LANDING ON THE PERCH 



DOWN BUT NOT OUT 



Photograph by Dr. A. A. Allen 



A young sparrow hawk, not at all sure of the photographer's good intentions, assumes 

 a characteristic defensive attitude. However, despite the belligerent pose, this species is per- 

 liaps the most friendly and sociable of all the hawks. When fully grown, the bird will not 

 measure a foot in length.
