Sparrow Hawks Nesting in a Bird House.— A pair of Sparrow Hawks 
have nested in a sort of a pigeon house that was built by a man on my 
place and fastened on top of a pole about 18 feet from the ground and 
placed in the middle of the chicken yard. It somewhat resembles a martin 
house, though the holes are larger. Of course, they have the house to 
themselves. It is located within 200 feet of a Martin house occupied by a 
large colony of these birds which are continually worrying the hawks 
when they return with food for the young. A week ago when I looked in 
the box there were three or four young ones covered with white down. —
