Text Appearing Before Image:
, and groundsquirrels; also lizards, frogs, snakes, birds, and insects. Marsh hawk and mouse hawk are both appropriate names for thesesoft-winged still-hunters. Fields, marshes, and prairies are theirhunting grounds, and you may see them sailing slowly and smoothlyjust above the surface of the grass tops, with round owl-like faceand large eyes turned to the ground beneath, and wings ready for aquick dive. Woe to the mouse or gopher that moves in the grassunder those eyes ! Birds are not such easy prey, and few are cap-tured except wounded game birds. Broken-winged quail, grouse,or ducks are not left to suffer long. They are quickly discoveredand eaten. The intelligent farmer usually recognizes the value of this hawkand the fact that it almost never touches his poultry. He sees itskimming over his meadows and diving into the grass for mice, andwisely lets it live; but nevertheless he would be surprised if hecould figure out how many dollars it saves him during the year. Vernon BaiIiEY.
