NT tliis age of death, and destruction to all living creatures, which, be- cause of their size or edible r^uali- ties, the so-called sportsman is jiroud to exhibit as evidence of his skill afield, it is remarkable that there should exist within twenty odd miles of New York's City Hall a cnloiiy (if Hci'ons which woi^ld do credit to the most remote ]i i)f Floiida. Three factors have combined to render this rook- ery possilile: first, its isolation; second, the habits of its occupants; and third, the protection which is afforded it by tlic owner of the land on which it is situated. Of these, the first is Ijy far the most im- ])(irtant, and I may be pardoned, therefore, if I do not betray the Ijirds" secret; for, much as I desire to encourage American industries, I must on this occa- sion withhold information of undoubted value to the feather trad(\ The birds' habits contribute toward their preser- vation, because they are largely nocturnal, "Night" being the specific name applied by the text-books to this i)articular kind of Heron; but tii those who know him in nature, lie is gencraily s]>oken of as " (|)iiawk," tliis Ijciiig an excellent I'endering of his ciimmon call. 7U.
