Nature’s Red-Tailed Hawk (Buteo borealis). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. AN you tell our hawk friends ‘ frov: our foes? So many of the hawks that spend their " time killing off pests for us have lost their lives even while they were doing a kindly deed. It is high time we learn to dis- tinguish the one from the other. This friend, the red-tailed hawk, polices Eastern North America from Sas- katchewan, Wiscensin and Illinois east to Central Keewatin and Newfound- land and south to Eastern Texas, Northeastern Mexico, the Gulf Coast of Florida and the Greater Antilles.

There are from two or four dull whitish or bluish-white eggs with & variety of markings on them. Some- times the clutch has blotches of sev- eral shades of brown and red and still others of pale lavender-gray. It is not safe to climb up the tree to inspect the eggs or young.

National and District figures prove that “defective drivers” rather than defective cars are responsible fo. the majority of sccidents, Keneipp said. Over a period of more than eight years, District traffic figures show, Keneipp pointed out, that only 2.4 per cent of cars involved were found defective in any way.
