Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ...W. Preston informs me that he took a set of eggs of this species on March 5, 1890, near Baxter in central Iowa, which were, even at that early date, slightly incubated. Heavy snow fell while the eggs were being deposited, and this pair of birds were seen repairing the old nest some time in the latter part of January. He found a pair of these birds nesting in a most unusual situation, their domicile being placed in a cottonwood tree, not over 12 feet from the ground and close to a public road. In the western parts of its range it nests frequently in large cottonwood and sycamore trees. In the New England and Northern States, the-Red-tailed Hawk nests usually in April, apparently as often during the first as the last half of this month, and correspondingly later northward. Usually but a single brood is raised in a season, but in the hill country of South Carolina, the Piedmont region, where this species is not uncommon, Dr. Leverett M. Loomis, well known as an exceedingly accurate observer, informs me that two broods are not infrequent. If the first set of eggs is lost, a second and sometimes a third is laid, and on very rare occasions even a fourth. A pair of birds will sometimes build two nests, and if one of these is robbed the second is made use of. The eggs vary from two to four in number. Sets of two are most often found throughout the greater part of its range, while three are not rare, and in northern New York sets of four appear to be as common as smaller ones. Incubation lasts about four weeks, the male assisting to some extent in this duty, as well as providing his mate with food while on the nest. The eggs are deposited at intervals of about two days. Generallv the Red-tailed Hawk shows but little courage or devotion in defense...
