The inst covey ran out in front of the car and I had to slow up to avoid a collision. Just as I said: there was uotliing to it. firms were just as plentiful 'or o numbcr of years following. ol- beit they had learned a lot in a few years. but began to fall below their usual peak in numbers and never caught up. Our l-iuno have experienced a sharp drop over the past six years and it in the opinion in some circles that ilrey have not quite held their own for the past three years. I feelqultu safe in saying we haven't one covey today for every 15 we had in 1939. I also feel that over-shoot- ing has nothing whatever to do with this decline. Nor do 1 believe that any one predator may be blamed. The only predatory bird that has increased ten fold over the past 10 years is the raven. There are more hunting dogs and house cats on the prowl then for merly and hunting pressure has stepped 'Ip enormously the past 10 years. It could be due to a combination of factors such all increased pro- dation and hunting pressure; con- tinued unfavourable weather con- ditions and more nests being de- siroycd due to earlier haying oper- ations.
