Sept.12.Saw a Great Blue Heron fiercely
attack a Hawk and three
Turkey Vultures that were
flying about a piece of tuiles
that it seemed to be guarding.
The Heron showed surprising
adgility in the attack which
was always from below. It
kept uttering its harsh cry
almost continually. In most
instances the Turkey Vultures
showed themselves to be superior
in flight. The Heron did not
desist until its foes had been
driven off. It them settled
itself near the tuile patch. Per-
haps there were some of the
poisoned fish there.
Saw a Red-bellied Hawk
poise in the air for several
seconds. This was repeated
several times.
Sept.14 Went over to beach to see the
fish that had been killed by
the refuse from the sugar factory
