The Fastest Hound Dog in the State of Maine

A short and amusing story from this Maine author. Here is an excerpt: A good many times people have asked me how I came to own the fastest hound dog in the State of Maine, and why he was known to be the fastest, and I want to tell it just the way it happened so you'll all know the facts. I came from Wytopitlock, where I was living at the time, down to Mattawamkeag on the Bangor &amp; Aroostook Railroad one day to buy myself a hound dog. Up to Wytopitlock we was having a run on long-legged rabbits then, I didn't want none of these short-legged dogs that can run all day and not move any. I wanted one with rangy pins that could get close enough to a Wytopitlock rabbit so he'd exert himself and know he was chased. The short-legged dogs we'd been using was no good at all, and I says to myself, "The Hell with that!"

The New England Hawk Migration Study combined the world of hawkwatching and aeronautical engineering for a unique view of birds in flight. Specially outfitted in a Sperber motorglider, which allowed slow, sustained highly maneuverable flying, author Bill Welch and his colleagues followed the hawks on their East Coast migrations, riding the same thermals as the raptors, and making detailed observations never before possible of hawk flight and navigation.With over 35 black-and white photographs and charts, Hawks at My Wingtipsis a detailed and fascinating look at the worlds of birdwatching and high-performance flying. Both written and photographic accounts of these flights capture a feeling of what it is like to soar with nothing but wind under your wings
