150. Syrnium nebulosum. Barred Owl. Res. 



151. Nyctale acadica. Acadian Owl. Res. 



152. Nyctea nivea. Snowy Owl. Win. There are several 

 authentic instances of the occurrence of this species in winter. Prof. 

 Gibbes includes it. 



Fam. 28. — Falconid^. 



153. Falco anatum. Peregrine Falcon. Win. (G.) 



154. F. columharius. Pigeon Hawk. Win. ; perhaps res.

159. B. lineatus. Red-shouldered Hawk. Res.; com. 



160. Elanus leucurus. Black-shouldered Hawk. Sum.; rare. 

 The Carolinas limit the northward extent of this species in the Atlan-

 less possibly he means the Golden Eagle, Aquila canadensh. 



165. Pandion carolinetisis. Fish Hawk. Res.; com. 



In addition to the foregoing Falconidw, two others, Buten pennsyl-

Fa7n. 29. — Vultueid.k. 



166. Cathartes aura. Turkey Buzzard.

 generally distributed over the State, atratus being mostly confined to
