Excerpt from Wild Bird Protection: Bulletin No. 2 Not only should they be protected and saved from destruction at the hands of man, but also from vermin of every character, and espeaally from the vicious of their own kind; from certain owls, and hawks, and the crow, for while it is admitted that these three last named birds do some good in the way of destruction to rodents and insects, the evil they do, more than outweighs the good, and the weight of opinion tends to their destruction, and particularly is this true of the crow. Enabled by the power of flight and a disposition to wander far, it covers vast stretches of territory in search of food, and its work for evil far exceeds that of almost any other bird and that of any four-footed animal, no matter how blood-thirsty it may be. A noted ornithologist says on this subject: No observing per son will deny that the crow does serious damage to the eggs and young of wild birds. The instances of such depredations which have come within the knowledge of most farmers and others living in the country are far too numerous to leave a shadow of a doubt on this score in any unprejudiced mind, yet for every instance of such robbery witnessed by man, thousands must take place Without his knowledge. Persecution by crows, is doubtless a very large factor among the in fluences, which cause so many birds to crowd around human habita tions during the nesting season, and yet the relentless crow, follows them even to the caves and window sills of our houses, taking their eggs and young, in spite of every precaution, and the only wonder is that the wild birds, of many species, are able to raise young at all. The sharp shinned hawk, Cooper's hawk, goshawk, duck hawk and pigeon hawk, with the great horned owl and the barred owl are great destroyers of birds and game and should be killed wherever found.
