the Red-tailed Hawk. It arrives here from the 

 southern parts of the United States in the middle of 

 March, and if possible, occupies its nesting place of 

 former years. Our farmers go gunning for these 

 Hawks on account of their occasionally capturing 

 a young chicken. If they only knew that this 

 Hawk destroys principally mice, moles, squirrel 

 and young rabbits! I have seen one with quite a 

 large snake in its talons fly past me. They lay 

 from two to four eggs. But I have a fine set of five.
