Our records show that there were several specimeus of the Amer- 

 iean Goshawk or Northern Hen Hawk received last fall, and before 

 that time there were practically none. This shows that there was a 

 southward flight of them from the northern counties which they in- 

 habit and where they breed and spend the summer. This is one of 

 the birds that is not protected by law in Pennsylvania, although it 

 is rare and only a winter migrant.
