They can overtake the fastest flying ducks and pass pig- eons and grouse. Their fearlessness seems to give them a superiority of bearing that is admitted instantly by other fiyers. Peale’s falcon is of a much more lueky alate color than the duck hawks. Its breast is heavily marked with blackish arrows and there are broed, dusky bars on the underpurts. The ! feathers reach so far down on the legs | 83 to have the appearance of golf knickers. Some call this falcon the black hawk. It inhabits the Pacific they have perfected the art of rising in spirals and can drop directly upon their victims, or by swift pursuit, they are gradusted with honors and are self-supporting from then on.

He wanted to get there before the geese were close in so that he would not have to risk drawing their atten- tion by moving. He reached the last hiding-place without being discovered.

When falconry was at the height of its popularity in England, you could tell the rank of the individual by look- ing at the species of falcon carried by the sportsman on his wrist. Royalty carried the gyrfalcon, the earls had the peregrine, the yeoman was happy with the goshawk. The priest carried the sparrow hawk and the servants trained the kestrel. seems that caste was very carefully worked out among the falcons for all who loved the game.
