HAMlLtON Gemson University Extension Information Specialist Webb, project leader, S. C. Hold your fire when you see a hawk. You’re altnost sure to be dead wrong by shooting, say Clemson wild life specialists. “We have several species of highly beneficial hawks over wintering in the Southeast. These are usually the hawks that are killed by thoughtless hunters says Lloyd G. Big super heating performance in a COMPACT CABINET! w . Wildlife Resources Dept?; Gemson. Webb, who teaches game management at Clemson Uni versity, says hunters should watch for and protect such species as the red-taiied, red shouldered * broad - wihged marsh, and sparrow hawks. These hawks are* terrific aids to conservation because of theit feeding habits. Their diets consist mostly of mice and insects. The marsh hawk, for in stance, common in the Caro lina lowlands, may devour 1,000 mice during a single nesting season. Another common hawk of the Palmetto State, the retf- tailed-hawk, eats a diet that is fully 65 per cent rats, mice, and insects. Other foods in clude frogs and snakes. Only rarely does a red-tail ed hawk take a swipe at a chicken or game bird. Then he usually attacks only the sick or lame ones. John P. Hardister, wildlife biologist with the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, also of Clemson, agrees that hawk shooting is a misdirect ed avenue of sport shooting. “We have a couple of hawk species that might be con sidered mild pests, but you seldom, if ever, see these.” n,- „ his great country of ours.
