Genus BUTEO Cuvier. 



72. Buteo borealis (Gmel.). Red-tailed Hawk. 



73. Buteo lineatus (Gmel. ). Red-shouldered Hawk. 



My records of these are too confused to separate them. Both 

 species however were seen and identified both alive and stuffed. 



Western records of borealis were made on hearing their notes, 

 but I afterwards found that the jays of that region imitated these 

 with such exactness that I could not rely on the records I had pre- 

 viously made. 



Both of these hawks are rare summer residents in the parts 

 visited by me. 



74. Buteo latissimus (Wils. ). Broad-winged Hawk. 



In east Tennessee this is the most abundant hawk, especially so 

 among the mountains, where I found it at the loftiest elevations. 



Genus AQTJILA Brisson. 



75. Aquila chvysaetos (L.). Golden Eagle. 



This eagle is occasionally seen at Roan Mountain, in which neigh- 

 borhood they are resident. 



Set of eggs and nesting birds taken on Bald Mountain (Blount 

 County); Lemoyne. . 



Genus HALIJEETUS Savigny. 



76. Haliseetus leucocephalus (L. ). Bald Eagle. 



Several mounted skins were noted. It is said to breed at Sam- 

 burg. I think I saw one from the top of Roan Mountain. Saw 

 one in a cage at Union City. 



Genus FALCO Linnaeus. 



77. Falco peregrinus anatum (Bonap.). Duck Hawk. 



While watching a flock of vultures circle about me on the cliffs 

 near Sawyer's Springs a Duck Hawk suddenly dashed among them 

 with a shrill scream and in a few moments had scattered them far 

 away over the valley. It then returned to its eyrie near the cas- 

 cade of Falling Water. Breeding in the Great Smoky Mountains, 

 Lemoyne. 



78. Falco sparverius L. Sparrow Hawk. 



Noted at Samburg, Raleigh, Bellevue and Chattanooga, and at 

 intermediate points along the railroad lines. Not as common as in 

 the Middle States. Not seen in the mountains, but noted there by 

 Fox and Langdon and Lemoyne, the latter stating it is rare.
