Connecticut. 
This State now leads New England in the protection of 
wild fowl and shore birds, with a law passed in 1907, which 
protects them all from January 1 to September 1. 
Connecticut also passed in the same year a law requiring 
a high license fee of alien and non-resident hunters, and a 
$1 fee of resident hunters. 
Rails are protected from January 1 to September 12, and 
mourning doves all the year.
