of reprints under the heading of "Yester Years" (page C4). Among them was
the following item from the "Shenandoah Valley" October 25, 1906: "Mr. A. J.
Fansler recently killed a chicken hawk that measured 3 feet and a [sic] 2
inches from tip to tip and later Mr. J. H. Miller killed a chicken hawk that
measured 3 feet tip to tip of wings."
