BELL BUZZARD BACK AGAIN

Establishes a Winter Home on Roof of “Haunted House”—Also Visited Flocks of Chickens. Dover, Del.—The "bell buzzard,” which has been seen and heard In different localities in Kent county for the past eight or ten years, is now in Dover, making its resting place on the roof and chimney of the old Cowgill house, or “Haunted House.” It can be seen every day. and the jingling of the bell on its neck attracts the attention of passers-by. Evidently driven to town by the extreme cold weather and snow, buzzards are frequently seen in the back yards of the resiliences. But a few days ago a buzzard landed among a flock of chickens at the home of L. Schablnger here, and remained with the chickens day and night until forced to fly away by one of the family.
