OUR BIRDS OF PREY. 87 Anyone who has watched a kingfisher knows how extremely difficult it is to see, through the splashing and the spray raised even by this little bird, exactly what is happening. It seems to me that the kingfisher always picks up the fish from the top of the water, and yet others will stoutly maintain that he dives below it. The Osprey has less reason to dive, seeing that, while the THE PJillEGRlNE. kingfisher seizes his prey with his bill, he takes his with his feet. The Per...egrines are found pretty well all over the world. This, which is the falconers' prince of Falcons, is in the eyes of the naturalists one of the bravest birds that fly.
