About this object
A photograph of three birds thought to have been taken at Tutira Station in the early twentieth century. A note on the album page identifies the birds as sparrow hawks. This note likely refers to the kārearea or New Zealand falcon (Falco novaeseelandiae). The group consists of an adult with two juveniles. The adult appears to be offering the chicks some food.
The photograph is mounted in an album titled: Photographs of birds on Tutira Station.
Photographer, Herbert Guthrie-Smith.
