his plans. I got up out of the snow 
_and charged on the knoll. I found the 
dog standing over my victim and ke, 
the dog, seemed quite pleased at the 
_existing conditions. I picked up the 
_ rabbit and went back to retrieve the 
old Queen’s Arm as the old gentleman 
ealled it. I founc it buried in the snow 
but uninjured, and picking it up with 
a kindly feeling, I started for home 
with a smiling face and a happy heart. 
The old gentleman did not have 
much to say, but I know he was quite 
surprised. 
The rabbit was a fine specimen of 
the big Maine Lare which is red in 
the summer and white in the late fall. 
When I skinned him I found one shot, 
and one only, hit him in the side when 
he turned to go behind the knoll and 
it went through his heart. I have done 
some shooting since that time, but 
“never had keener feeling come over 
me. Those early thrills are hard to 
_ duplicate. 
Bird Banding 
(Continued from page 78) 
he has trapped as many as 20 of one 
variety of ducks; a sportsman in the 
South has permanently identified a con- 
siderable number of Louisiana herons, 
while 140 members of the white- 
throated sparrows have been tagged 
this year. The variety of birds in- 
cluded in the survey is almost limitless, 
taking cognizance of ducks, herons, 
quail, morning doves, horned owls, 
_euckoos, king fishers, several kinds of 
woodpeckers, fly catchers, crows, jays, 
blackbirds, orioles, sparrows and fin- 
ches, warblers, nuthatches, thrashers, 
chickadees, robins, and bluebirds. 
 §. Prentiss Baldwin, a noted bird 
fancier, has placed 1,600 bands in four 
years, employing the type of trap de- 
signed by the experts of the Biological 
Survey. Sparrows, deemed as pests, 
are destroyed, and their decreasing 
numbers is a favorable opportunity for 
increasing the presence of native birds. 
$o alluring was the trap as a feeding 
place for desirable members of the 
feathered tribe that of 700 birds 
handled in five weeks in Georgia, two- 
thirds repeated their visits, inspiring 
the lover of birds to coin the words 
“repeats” as it applies to the frequency 
of the visits from the winged creatures. 
NE brown thrasher, for two suc- 
cessive seasons, made the trap his 
constant abode, while a cardinal be- 
ame such a nuisance as to be respon- 
sible for the removal of the trap to a 
fresh location. Individuals are identi- 
fied by their unfailing characteristics, 
as illustrated by a white-throated spar- 
by fighting and biting the fingers of 
the owner of the trap, while another
