TWO PARENT ROBINS
KILL PILFERING HAWK.
Carpenter Lew Miller saw a sight
on the hospital grounds in this place,
last Saturday morning, that he
wouldn't have believed if some one
else had seen it and told him the
story.
As he was passing the institution
Mr. and Mrs. Robin were giving
one of their brood a lesson in how
to tap the ground and listen for
worms. Suddenly, a bird hawk
swooped down and grabbed the
baby robin. Instantly, its parents
went into action.
air, circled the hawk and darted at
it with lightning speed from oppo-
site sides. There was a whirl of
feathers, the baby robin fluttered
to the ground, the hawk fell dead
and the victorious old robins glided
down to the side of their little one.
Miller then went to the scene and
found thai the hawk had been de-
capitated as neatly as if a butcher's
cleaver had severed its head.
