" TTldieut th aid of wepon or traps,
aa employe of the Dlitrlot government
captured a rare bird, probably never
before ieen in
VaehIngton, and
which, because of
the hunter's' fleet
nets of foot, vis'
now .on exhibition
at the Zoo.
The intrepid
hunter Is Louts
Ollrer, employed in the office of the
auditor at the District building. His
rare catch Is a perfect specimen, of
blue kin heron. The bird Is, nowi In
the aviary at trie Zoo chattering with
the other members of the feathered'
tribe and telling them of his hard
luck.
Officials at the Zoo said today the
blue Icing heron Is native to Florida.
They do not recall having seen a real
lire specimen of the bird in Washing
ton before. The officials expressed the
belief that Oliver's find was blown
north by the terrlflo gale which started
in Florida and wound up its rampage
in Maine. ... . . . ..
Oliver saw the strange bird in a field
near Fairfax Court House, Va.. several
mornings ago. He was strong and re
Irfahed, by a good night's sleep, while
the bird was fatigued as a result of
lev&al days' battling with the ele
ments. The bird took to flight when
r tued by Oliver, but the race went
t he swifter, which Is short for say
liu Oliver captured the bird and landed
It athe Zoo.
