Show Good, Bad Hawks Like snakes, hawks do much good. Only five species of hawks and one species of owl do more harm than good and these species are far fewer few-er in numbers than good hawks. Good hawks are staunch foes of field mice and locusts and ought to be encouraged. One difficulty with hawks is that only bird scientists can tell the good hawks from the bad. To the farmer and even the game warden, hawks look very much alike and a hawk in the sky means a warning to get out the old gun as fast as possible. |
