VOL. Iv. ] Birds of San Pedro Martir. 235 
on San Pedro the past season; they appear to be very rare there. 
At San Telmo a pair have for years nested in a cliff about ten 
miles from the coast, where they were seen in April of the 
present year. 
Falco sparverius sub. sp.(?) SPARROW HAwk. One or two 
sparrow hawks were seen on top of San Pedro, but as no speci- 
mens are in the collection I am unable to say which race occurs 
there. 
Strix pratincola. AMERICAN BARN OwL. Very common in 
the lower valleys, but not observed above the live oak belt at 
3500 feet. 
Syrnium occidentale. SpotTED OwL. An owl that I think 
was this species was flushed from a live oak on the slope of San 
Pedro at about 4500 feet elevation. Mr. Bryant has recorded a 
bird that I saw near the same place in 1887. 
Megascops asio trichopsis.(?) MEXICAN SCREECH OWL. 
Screech owls have several times been seen and heard between 
the coast and the top of San Pedro, but as no specimens were 
secured the exact position of the sub-species is somewhat doubtful. 
Bubo virginianus subarcticus. WESTERN HORNED OWL. 
Very common in the pine timber of San Pedro and in the coast 
valleys where there is timber enough to afford it shelter. 
Speotyto cunicularia hypogea, BURROWING OWL. Seen in 
several of the valleys between Tia Juana and San Telmo. I think 
none were seen above that point. On June 9 an entire family 
were seen in the Carriso Valley, perched on the bushes about 
the burrow. , 
Glaucidium sp. (?) Picmy OwL. At Valladares, near the 
base of the mountain, two were seen by a member of our party, 
but not secured. 
Geococcyx californianus. ROAD-RUNNER. Common in the 
lower valleys and slopes of the mountain. One was reported to 
me from 7000 feet. 
Ceryle alcyon. BELTED KINGFISHER. One was heard on two 
or three occasions at La Grulla, on San Pedro. Common on the 
coast in winter.
