Dans le Berkshire champs . Les notes du concours. L'un des hommes-folks apparut alors et il a tué, et il est maintenant atreasured ornement du salon avant. La grange-owl n'est pas trouvé dans notre région soit,ce qui est dommage, car il n'est pas seulement un des mosthumorous-créatures à plumes dans le lit king-dom, exécutant une course serrée pour les premières récompenses avec thepenguin et le macareux moine, mais il est aussi un grand de-stroyer de rongeurs, dépassant de loin le plus vauntedbarn-cat, qui préfère habituellement le lait pour les souris. J'ai souvent demandé pourquoi l'oiseau ne pas tenter l'expérience des sociétés de distribution de barn-hiboux toregion

In Berkshire fields . the marks of the contest. One of the men-folks then appeared and killed it, and it is now atreasured ornament of the front parlor. The barn-owl is not found in our region either, which is a pity, for he is not only one of the mosthumorous-looking creatures in the feathered king-dom, running a close race for first honors with thepenguin and the puffin, but he is also a great de-stroyer of rodents, far exceeding the much-vauntedbarn cat, which usually prefers milk to mice. Ihave often wondered why the bird societies donot try the experiment of distributing barn-owls toregions where they are not at present found. Thesame barn-owl, in Europe, lives in deserted castlesand haunted towers and . . does to the moon complainOf such as, wandering near her secret bower, Molest her ancient solitary reign. Undoubtedly he is also the owl who, on a certainfamous and romantic evening, for all his featherswas acold. It is rather curious that two birds sofamous in Old World song and legend as the pere-. The snowy owl grine falcon and the barn-owl should play so slighta part in our New World life. The barn-owl, atleast, deserves recognition and protection. Someyears ago a colony of barn-owls lived in the Smith-sonian tower in Washington, entering and leavingby a broken window. Somebody mended thiswindow, thus killing all the owls inside and drivingaway all who were outside at the time. A careful 96 IN BERKSHIRE FIELDS and expert examination of the dead birds, the pel-lets, and the nests showed that the owls of thiscolony had been taking a tremendous toll of rodentsand small pests; they had been a positive asset tothe surrounding community. Many observers maintain that the barred owl(which is somewhat smaller than the great horned, and is often called the eight-hooter, because hiscall has eight notes) is now more common than hislarger cousin. This is probably true in many, ifnot most, sections of Massachusetts, though hardlyhere where I live, I think, in the mountains
