June 24 Tule Creek road, 2 mi SW Hayfork, 2400 ft., Trinity Co., Calif. Carcasses of five Red-tailed Hawks, probably killed by some local hunter or farmer, were found accumulated about a large oak in woodland near the road. Seven of them were strung up on a wire along one of the lower limbs. Most of the carcasses were those immature birds. At least one fully adult bird was among them.
