So when he hoots he listens for some slight sound made by some little furred or feathered person who has been startled by his voice. The instant he h:ars a rustle or the sound of a claw he glides forward on those great wings of his, which carry him without any sound at all. They carry him surprisingly fast, too. He flies low and in a second from the time he has left his watch tower he is right over the spot from which came that faint sound. It is then that he makes full use of those wonderful eyes of his. Hooty's eyes were made for seeing whon there is very little light. As long as there is a wee bit of light Hooty can see, and he can see surprisingly well, 50 if there is the least movement by the one he is hunting he is sure to see 1. en 0se great claws of s e THAT THER WAS WEALLY HIS |, 4 Hooty has his dimner. “This i the way that Hooty hunts.

Every night, just after jolly, round, red Mr. Sun went to bed behind the Purple Hills, Hooty would perch on the top of a certain tall, dead tree. Sitting upright, he looked in the dusk to be a part of the tree. That tree was really his watch tower. That's what it was—his watch tower. Now, when Hooty is hunting he uses both ears and eyes.

It certainly seemed to him that it was a long time since he had had enough to eat at one time. So now, as he sat on the top of his watch tower and hooted, he listened with more than usual care. He had no intention of missing any chance that might offer to catch something to eat.
