Popular science monthly . logist; for thescalpel of the taxi-dermist, or a legiti-mate target forevery gunner inthe land that cameacross them in theopen. There is a splen-did array of falcon-birds in ouravifauna, theprincipal represen-tatives being theEagles, the Fal-cons, the Hawks, Kites and Harriers.Besides these, wehave two speciesof Caracaras, aswell as the famousOsprey or FishHawk. When oneincludes the latter, with the four dif-ferent kinds ofEagles recogni/.edby American or-nithologists, thereare in the UnitedStates, all told, no fewer than thirty-twospecies and twenty-one sub-species ofsuch l)irds. None of these are asabundant as they were half a centur ormore ago, or even less lime. Indeed, during the autumnal migration of birdssouthward in the early seventies, inthe southern part of Fairfield County inConnecticut, I have seen as many as atliousand or more different kinds ofiiawks pass overhead in the course of aday; I very much doubt that one nowcould count, at the same time of theyear, over a hundred..

In the first place, some hawks, as theFish Hawk, lieentirely upon fish, and never attackor destroy any kintiof fowl or mam-mal, although ithas the strength tokill a full-growngobbler, were it totr- to do so. Theillustration heregiven is the repro-duction of a photo-graph I made of abird not quite full grown, which was inmy possession for several days; I alsomade the other photographs for thisarticle from liing specimens of hawksin my keeping at differen
