they are anxious to learn just
how many of them are killed,
how, where and when, Mr. Einar­
son says. Instructions for re­
turning the bands are simple,
and are printed on each band.
Although this is the first hunt­
ing season since the birds were
liberated, several hundred leg
bands have already been return­
ed. Each band carries a num­
ber, and this, together with the
name of the person who found
it, kthe cause of its death, the
date, and the place where it was
found are recorded.
A check-up of these records
shows that man is indirectly
responsible for most of the deaths
so far. Automobiles have pro­
bably accounted for the greatest
number, others have met death
through flying into telephone
lines, buildings and other man­
made structures. A few have
frozen to death, some have starv­
ed to death, some have been
killed by cats or dogs, and other
by predatory birds or animals.
Mr. Einarsen has a perfect skele­
ton of one bird killed by a horned
owl, which laboriously picks every
particle of meat from the bones,
without destroying the skeleton.
The horned owl is a persistent
killer of game birds.
This year the game commission
plans to release another large
flock of birds immediately after
the close of the hunting season,
all of which will wear leg bands,
Mr. Einarsen says, so that an
even more complete survey of
