ON THE BEACH AND THE BOARDWALK - AMERICAN PLAN - ALWAYS OPEN 
dred in it; some of them three feet 
or more across. The ground is littered 
with refuse; hundreds of dead bodies 
of young ones that had “fallen over- 
board” from the nests in the branches 
lay on the ground. Many more alive 
and flapping their wings weakly lay 
on the ground dying. 
Herons have been accused of being 
fish destroyers and many have gone to 
the extent of saying that they should 
be exterminated. No one has worked 
more consistently for the welfare of 
our fishes than myself, but I see no 
gain in killing out the herons. What 
fish they do kill forms a negligible quan- 
tity; they do a world of good by 
picking up and consuming or carrying 
to their young every dead fish that 
floats to shore. 
W E continued over the lakes, walk- 
ing overland to fish Lake Minne- 
washta, thence camping on Goose 
Island near Pelican Point. On Spray 
Island I camped for eight months one 
year in the long ago. From that camp 
I contributed many letters to Forest 
and Stream. 
Our boat was conveyed at the close 
of our Minnetonka trip to Minneapolis 
and thence to the Minnesota River. We 
slid the boat into the river at Savage 
on the 23d day of June, preparatory 
to our drifting down the Minnesota, 
the Mississippi and our row up the St. 
Croix.

NATURAL 
HISTORY 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 353) 
discovered that rabbits can not be 
slaughtered on the snow one season and 
have good shooting the next. Long 
Island needs a law stopping the shoot- 
ing of rabbits on the snow, as during 
the winter of 1919-20 they were nearly 
wiped out in some sections. I know 
of one gunner that year who shot 
fourteen rabbits the first day’s track- 
ing snow and do not doubt that others 
killed as many or more. 
Long Island now has a good law on 
muskrats, the season opening December 
first, but this season many trappers, 
mostly boys, were trapping a month 
before that date, in spite of the low 
price for skins. I have yet to hear 
of one arrested for trapping out of 
season, or who had even met a warden 
this fall. 
R. 0. Brown, Long Island. 
Mr. Nichols has looked for definite 
records of the kildeer at Hempstead 
Reservoir in late spring, and finds in 
his journal mention of two birds, May 
20, 1917, and of hearing the species at 
the upper reservoir at dusk, May 8, 
1919. The scarcity of rabbits on Long 
Island was quite general in 1920, fol- 
lowing a period of great abundance. 
Rabbits are subject to considerable fluc- 
tuations in numbers, and snow shoot- 
ing may not have been entirely respon- 
sible for their decrease in this case.
