HARRIER HAWK
The Harrier Hawk has been greatly misunderstood owing to want of more closc study of its habits, says Mr E .T. Frost of Kaitaia, in Forest and Bird. One shot recently was examined and its crop was found to be full of grasshoppers, large moths, crickets, and other leaf-destroying insects—not a sign of a feather. In the incubating season rats and mice form the principal food of hawks.
