provides  about  all  that  are  positively  and 
seriously  injurious.  The  Sharp-shinned 
is  the  small,  active  hawk  that  is  almost 
continually  moving,  darting  here  and 
there  in  search  o£  small  birds.  Occa¬ 
sionally  it  alights,  apparently  waiting  for 
the  frightened  birds  to  reappear.  It.  has 
no  apparent,  preference  for  wild  meat. 
Young  poultry  is  just  as  tempting.  The 
Cooper’s  hawk  is  a  larger  edition  of  the 
Sharp-shinned  and  very  similar  in  color 
which  is  an  ashy  gray  above  and  barred 
beneath  with  while  and  light,  buff.  The 
Cooper’s  has  the  same  active  habit  as  its 
relative  and,  because  of  its  larger  size,  is 
much  more  destructive  of  poultry.  The 
goshawk,  perhaps  the  largest  hawk  that 
visits  New  England,  breeds  farther  north 
and  is  found  here  as  a  Spring  and  Fall 
migrant,  or  farther  south  as  a  Winter 
visitant.  This  large  hawk  catches  few  of 
the  smaller  birds.  It  looks  for  the  smaller 
mammals,  game  birds  and  poultry  which 
it  is  very  bold  in  seizing.  When  in  pur¬ 
suit  of  a  fowl  it  cares  little  for 
sometimes  dashing  down  at  his 
seize  the  desired  bird. 
The  pretty  little  sparrow-hawk  lives  to 
some  extent,  upon  birds  but  the  large  num¬ 
ber  of  insects  that  it  eats  causes  some 
doubt  of  its  standing  ns  to  benefit  or  the 
opposite.  In  the  same  class  is  the  Marsh 
hawk,  or  harrier.  The  larger  portion  of 
its  diet  consists  of  mice  and  other  small 
mammals,  hut  it  also  cats  many  small 
birds. 
The  two  species  that  are  commonly  Called 
hen  hawks,  the  Red-tailed  and  the  Red- 
shouldered,  are  much  maligned.  Although 
among  the  largest  of  our  hawks  and  capa¬ 
ble  of  carrying  off,. a  good-sized  fowl  they 
seldom  visit  poultry  yards.  Examination 
of  hundreds  of  stomachs  of  these  two 
speeics  has  shown  that  mice  and  other 
small  mammals,  reptiles  and  insects  com¬ 
pose  from  75  per  cent,  to  HO  per  cent,  of 
their  food.  These  two  hawks  deserve  pro¬ 
tection  more  than  some  of  tbe  smaller 
birds  whose  worth  is  at.  least  question¬ 
able,  for  example,  tbe  blue  jay. 
The  Tt road-winged  hawk,  which  breeds 
throughout,  the  Eastern  States,  is  a  cousin 
to  the  two  just  mentioned  and  is  equally 
beneficial.  Of  65  stomachs  examined  by 
Dr.  Fisher,  seven  were  empty.  Of  the 
other  58  hut:  two  contained  small  birds. 
The  other  56  contained  small  mammals, 
reptiles,  batrachinns,  insects,  earthworms 
and  crawfish.  The  Broad-winged  hawk 
may  be  easily  identified  by  Its  habit  of_ re¬ 
maining  on  its  perch  in  some  tree  until  a 
person  is  quite  near,  when  it  leisurely 
(lies  to  another  tree  not  many  rods  away. 
Tim  Hough-legged  hawk  is  a  migrant,  or 
Winter  visitant  farther  south.  It  is  de¬ 
cidedly  beneficial,  living  on  small  mum 
nmls,  reptiles  and  insects. 
All  hawks  are  hawks  but  all  hawks 
are  not  the  destructive  birds  they  are  com¬ 
monly  supposed  to  be.  The  study  of 
these  and  other  birds  is  not  a  matter  of 
sentiment  merely.  It  is  one  of  tbe  ii 
practical  of  studies.  It  is  such  study 
that  enables  us  to  know  which  are  our 
cordingly.

A  Few  Hawks 
Hawks,  crows  and  English  sparrows 
are  unprotected  by  the  law  of  my  State, 
which  throws  a  theoretical  shield  around 
all  other  birds,  at  least  during  part  of  the 
year.  The  including  of  hawks  is  doubt¬ 
less  due  to  the  belief  that-  all  hawks  are 
injurious.  This  idea  has  survived  from 
the  time  when  few  people  Studied  birds, 
and  still  fewer  knew  much  of  their  habits 
of  eating,  and  thereby  a  great  injustice 
has  been  done  to  certain  species  of  hawks 
that  are  beneficial  and  likewise  to  man 
who  suffers  as  his  insect  enemies  in¬ 
crease. 
I  think  it  is  Ernest.  Harold  Baynes, 'the 
naturalist,  who  tells  of  a  man  who  saw  a 
hawk  plunge  down  into  hiS  flock  of  hens. 
Without  stopping  to  see  what  it  hail 
caught  he  seized  his  gun,  which  happened 
to  be  at  hand  and  shot  the  hawk,  Which 
had  not  left  the  ground.  In  picking  him 
up  a  large  rat  was  found  in  Ids  talons. 
That  man  never  shot  a  hawk  of  any  kind. 
Possibly  he  erred  as  much  in  one  ex¬ 
treme  as  most  people  do  in  the  other. 
All  hawks  are  not  good,  and  all  hawks 
are  not  bad.  Justice  is  best  served  by 
knowing  which  are  decidedly  injurious 
and  which  are  beneficial.  The  hawks  of 
New  England  are  the  only  ones  with 
which  I  am  familiar.

ehiuiicd,  Cooper’s  hawk  and  the  goshawk,
