AMERICAS FALCON POSES AGAINST PERFECT BACKGROUND

Rarely is a perfect bird photographed against so perfect a background as the duck hawk, or American falcon, shown on the front cover of this issue of the Science News Letter. The photograph is by Dr. A.A. Allen of Cornell University, and the magnificent cataract plunging in the background is Taughannock Falls, one of the greatest of the scenic beauties of New York State.
