media type="custom" key="10982064" = = Around the 1930's authorities suspected illegal activity from hunters. They were shooting down hawks on the property of Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. This was bought by Rosalie Edge, who started the Emergency Conservation Commitee {E.C.C.}. With the help of Mourice and Irma Brown (who she hired to guard the mountain) they were able to stop hunters from shooting down hawks. =Richard Pough took pictures of the hundreds of dead birds around Hawk Mountain.=
