Red-tailed Hawk, Buteo borealis subsp. 



A pair seen several times circling high in air. 

 Haitian Sparrow-Hawk, Falco sparverius dominicensis 



Fourteen seen during our stay, all solitary, well up in 

 the mountains, feeding near the road. 

 OspREY, Pandion halicBtus carolinensis 



The only individual seen tried to alight on one of the 

 masts on March third. Having a large fish in the talons 

 of one foot, it failed to perch and flew away. 

 Haitian Barn Owl, Tyto glaucops 



One visited the Lieutenant on six evenings flying around 

 the schooner and swooping into the light. A female taken 

 alive at Bizoton. 

 Haitian Burrowing Owl, Speotyto dominicensis. 



Abundant, flying from the road at night in pairs in the 

 light of approaching automobiles. 

 Haitian Parrakeet, Aratinga c. chloroptera 



In small flocks well up from the shore. 

 Haitian Parrot, Amazona ventralis 



Ten seen altogether, in pairs. None near the shore. 

 A number of nearly grown ones in cages at Port-au-Prince 

 and Petit Goave.

 Ani, Crotophaga ani 



In families or small flocks along the roadside.

One seen close at hand and heard calling in a garden at 

 Port-au-Prince. 

 Haitian Lizard Cuckoo. Saurothera dominicensis 



Common, both along shore in the mangroves and in the 

 large gardens. Several times I saw them catch and swallow 

 small lizards, and one shot had three in its stomach.
