Huntsman, Spare That Hawk
Yes, do spare that large hawk
that sits so quietly on an old dead
tree or floats on broad wings high
above the valley. Spare him for
mans own sake, for he's n~tture's
balance wheel, a destroyer of
more rats in a day than Pmmy
may catch in a week. When the
first cold weather drives rats and
mice in from the fields to our
stored grain for a winter of ~at
e~ting at ma~'s enpense, then na-
ture sends the hawks. Out of the
north-land in brave, single shifts,
into the south they come to assist
us. They fan out . from east to
west across Dixie and there are
many kinds. Some of these hawks
go farther south and some stay
here.
Of these the large red-tail and
other broad winged hawks are
our best. Their food is mice, rats,
squirrel, s~ftakes and the vicious
shrew. Their appetites are vorac-
ious, a pair of them having been
known to take as many as a
thousand mice in a single season.
It is thought that some of them
mate for life and they do come
back to old haunts. One pair of]
these red-tails nested in our woods J
this year but, so far, we have not i
found the nest. We did see them
carrying food to their young, how-
over, and now occasionally see
the young birds. Crows object
~oundly to their presence in the
trees but we do not disturb them.
Another enstirely beneficial
hawk that has but recently, it
~(~enis, taken a liking to Oklahoma
prairies is the Swainson. He's a
big fellow with a brown band ac-
ross his white breast. He's gentle
for a hawk and lives well wVch his
small neighbors. Some mmall
nest in the same tree witn him
and the eastern kingbird goes all
ou,t to be friendly, even building
his nest irnmedi~tely below the
big hawk's nest. The Swainson has
never been known to attack
chickens. His favorite thi-blt Is, of
all things, gophers! He also e~tts
mice, rats, crickets and grass~hop-
perS.
One day we were mowing weeds
in the pasture when we noticed
two young Swainson hawks w~tch-
ing us closely from nearby per-
simmon trees. As the mower mov-
ed slowly along, a couple of r~ts
ran ahead of it into tall grass.
Almost as the wicked thought oc-I
cured to us that we'd like to Intro-
I
duce these rodents to the hawk~i
there was a nearby flash of broad
wings as the birds swooped in
front of the mower to capture the
rats, ea¢ing them on the spot. In
the whole incidertt the hawks

the big butoes, thi~ one lives upon
birds or farmer's chickens, some-
times. For his evil appetites many
large friendly hawks are killed.
His big bully cousin, the goshawk,
is said to destroy all birds within
his wide hunting range. Forttm-
ately for us and for our birds, few
if any, of these are found in this
region, though ,they winter in
Kansas.
