# "Hunting for Birds' Nests" - Judge Magazine This page presents a two-panel contrast titled "In the Country" (left) and "In the City" (right), a common satirical format in Judge magazine. The **left panel** shows a child climbing a bare tree branch, hunting for birds' nests in a natural setting, with a bird flying overhead and flowers below. The **right panel** depicts an urban scene where a uniformed police officer appears to be stopping or questioning a well-dressed figure, with a question mark visible above the building. The satire likely critiques urban versus rural life or different forms of "hunting." The wordplay on "birds' nests" (literal in the country) probably refers to something else in the city—possibly illicit activities, corruption, or moral failings—suggesting that city dwellers hunt for different, less innocent "nests." The police presence reinforces this contrast.
