October 17. My first Goshawk. Near Sweat Ccam. 
Its (my little 20 gauge) next victim was a prize, a fine 
young Goshawk, the first I have ever killed. It rose from some 
drift wood and alighted on the branch of a tall ash. Jim paddled 
me slowly and silently to within 30 yds. and the Hawk fell dead as 
I pressed the trigger. He sat very erect and was a fine, daring 
looking fellow.

October 22. Lake Umbagog. 
Havward farm . 
Saw a Goshawk chase a Robin into some low willows where 
he overtook and killed his bird. The screams of the poor Robin 
lasted over a minute. I went in of course and flushed the Hawk, 
but missed a hard snap shot. lie carried off his prey whose feath¬ 
ers strewed the ground.

September 12. Pine Point . 
As I was photographing on the shore a Goshawk passed me 
within about 100 yards and then plunged into the woods. It was a 
very large bird, a female evidently and, I thought, young.
