Drawing by J. L. Biesecker | The sparrow hawk is a Donegal by J. L. Biesecker A flash of rust-red and grey-blue dropped through the periphery of my vision into the tall road side grass. Within a few seconds a victorious hunter emerged with his reluctant prey squirming in his clenched talons. The successful little sparrow hawk flew to the top of a nearby post and quickly made sure the garter snake was dead. With the snake safely clutched in his talons the hawk flew off, perhaps to share with his mate on a nearby nest, or with an already hatched family. This little struggle took place recently along Route 441 several miles south of Bainbridge. I was pleased that my friend had chosen that moment to stike and share this drama with me. It was my reward for more than a year of watching this particular hawk. He is but one of several local sparrow hawks that I keep an eye on as I go about the area. An attractive pair lives in the area of Endslow Road. My family has seen this couple regularly for more than a year. There is another that lives in the area of Engles Tollgate road. We recently witnessed an excit- ing aerial display involving the Engle Tollgate Road hawk and a barn swallow. As the hawk flew near the barn, a male swallow scrambled out to meet the danger. Although the hawk was larger and is an able, swift flyer, he was no match for the forked tail swallow. Through a series of aeroba- tic manuvers reminicent of World War II dog flight, the swallow repeatedly attacked the hawk. As the swallow pressed the attack, the hawk turned his rust-red tail and withdrew. Actually, a member of the streamlined hawks family, known as Falcons, the sparrow hawks are exciting birds to watch. They are one of the few birds that can hover in one spot while. looking for prey.

We cannot greedly and indis- | criminately kill off animal and bird hunters without negatively affecting the balance of the life cycle in an area. In the long run, instead of increasing game animal herds, we destroy them if some natural preda- tors are not there to add their contribution to popula- tion control.
