 annually, 



98. Collared Sparrow-Hawk. Accipitev torquatus {A. cirrocephalus 

 hroomei). — Resident. Probably fairly common, but shyer in its habits 

 than most of the other Hawks, and therefore less often seen. 



99. Wedge-tailed Eagle. Uroaetus audax (U. a. carteri). — Resident.- 

 A few probably still breed in the more remote parts of the district. 

 The species is now rarely seen in the immediate neighbourhood of 

 Perth. 



100. White-bellied Sea-Eagle. Haliaetus leucogastey (Cuncuma 

 leucogaster). — Visitor. Specimens, usually in immature plumage, 

 appear from time to time on the sea-coast and the estuaries. The 

 species probably does not breed anywhere in the district. 



loi. Whistling. Eagle. Haliastur sphenurus. — ^ Residei^t. The 

 common Eagle throughout the district, usually to be seen soaring oyer 

 any considerable sheet of water. 



102. Square-tailed Kite. Lophoictinia isura. — Visitor. Seyeral 

 specimens haye been shot near Perth.

 the W.A. Museum.

 — Resident. A common species. 



10^. Brown Hawk. Hieracidea berigora and H. occidentalis 

 {leracidea b. occidentalis >. — Resident. Plentiful. Both forms of this 

 species occur, but the dark-breasted type is probably the commoner. 



106. Nankeen Kestrel. Cerchneis cenchroides (C. c. unicolor). — ■ 

 Resident. Very common, especially on the coastal hills. It occurs 

 also on Rottnest, Garden, and Penguin Islands. 



107. Osprey. Pandion leucocephahis (P. lialiaetiis cristatus). —

 indiyiduals are sometimes seen on the coast of the mainland and 

 the estuary of the Sw^an Riyer.

 Resident. The common Owl of tlie district. 



109. Winking Owl. Ninox connivens (Hieracoglaux c. addenda). — 

 Resident. A rare species, which may be only a visitor to the dis- 

 trict ; but little is known as to these nocturnal birds. 



iTO. Delicate Owl. Strix delicatula {Tyto alba delicatula\ — Resident. 

 Not often seen, but perhaps not really rare. 



111. Masked Owl. Sirix novce-liollandicB {Tyto n. perplexa . — 

 Resident. Status about the same as that of the Delicate Owl. 



112. Purple-crowned Lorikeet. Glossopsitta porphyrocephala (G. p. 

 ivhitlocki). — Resident. This species is generally seen in large flocks 

 whereyer the eucalypts are in flower, and often passes screaming 

 overhead when travelling from one place to another. It should 

 perhaps be classed as a visitor rather than a resident, as it is doubtful 

 whether it breeds in the district, but the birds are probably present 

 in one or other part ol ihc district at almost all times of the year.
