Vandals in Fur and Feathers 
Spring is an opportune 
time to destroy vermin 
By W. J. SCHALDACH 
HE birds and 
animals here 
illustrated are 
on the “black list” of 
practically every con- 
servation commission 
in the United States. 
They are the chief 
members of the ver- 
min group and live 
almost exclusively on 
useful wild life. 
No. 1 is the Amer- 
ican Crow. Wary and 
elusive to the point of 
uncanniness, he is apt 
to prove too plentiful 
for the good of game 
and song birds every- 
where. His besetting 
sin lies in his love for 
the eggs and young 
of nesting birds, and, 
being gregarious in 
habit, he accomplishes 
much destruction, es- 
pecially in the spring. 
Nos. 2, 3 and 4 are 
harmful hawks. In 
order, they are Coo- 
per’s, sharp shinned, 
and American gos- 
hawk. Being falcons, 
their delight is to dart 
yon, and 
with ceaseless energy, 
to search each covert 
and potential refuge 
of Bob White, grouse and Songster with 
evil purpose. The sharp-shinned hawk 
is the smallest, Cooper’s next in size 
and the goshawk the largest of day- 
hunting raptorial birds. These three 
hawks are not to be confused with 
members of the useful group, red- 
shouldered, red-tailed and rough-legged, 
whose part in nature’s economy is to 
rid the fields of rodent pests; the great 
soaring birds should not be molested. 
N2: 5, the great horned owl, is one 
of the worst offenders and a 
menace difficult to cope with, due to 
its being nocturnal in habit. Bubo 
preys upon grouse, quail and rabbits 
chiefly, though he hesitates not to add 
all song and insectivorous birds to his 
diet when opportunity offers. He is 
the only owl which should be shot, the 
others doing more good than harm. 
No. 6 is the blood-thirsty weasel, 

Ti will identify you. 
From N. Y. Conservation Commission report 
The black list 
whose coat is brown in summer and 
white in winter. By means of his pro- 
tective coloration and lithe, sinewy 
body, he is able to carry on a success- 
ful (from his standpoint) campaign 
against all creatures from sparrow to 
pheasant, twelve months in the year. 
His lust to kill is insatiable, and the 
pity of it all is that he sucks but a 
few drops of blood from his victim and 
then seeks fresh prey. Weasels should 
be trapped and destroyed at every 
opportunity. ’ 
No. 7, the scolding, chattering red 
squirrel, could convince anyone of his 
innocence by his looks, were not his 
life history so well known. He is 
noisy and quarrelsome, driving away 
nesting birds and feeding on the 
eggs. This rufous rascal is invari- 
ably on mischief bent and the con- 
servation commission recommends that
