ADDITIONS TO THE 'AUTUMN BIRDS OF THE LES 

 CHENEAUX ISLANDS.' 



BY WALTER C. WOOD. 



In my list of the autumn birds of these islands published in 

 the Wilson Bulletin No. 52, June, 1905, I enumerated 48 

 species observed between October 15 and November 15, 1903. 

 I was again in this locality from November 10 to December 

 5, 190G, and noted the following additional species : 



Canachitcs canadensis. — Canada Grouse. Several secured on the main- 

 land opposite Marquette Island. 



Accipiter atricapillus. — American Goshawk. Secured an adult male 

 whose stomach was empty. 



Archibuteo lagopus sancti-johannis. — American Rough-legged Hawk. 

 Captain Pollock shot one a few days before my arrival. I found it an 

 adult in fine plumage. When killed, it was flying from the chicken yard 

 with a full grown domestic fowl in its talons. 



Syrnium -varium. — Barred Owl. Often seen in the thick cedar swamps. 



Parus hudsonicus. — Hudsonian Chickadee. Appeared with the first 

 heavy snowfall, November 25, when a few were seen. They became very 

 common by the 28th, and Captain Pollock informs me that they are the 

 most abundant winter bird and very tame; in fact, more so than atrica- 

 pillus, and more often come about the house and feed from the door-step. 



SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS. 



Our cooperative investigations have moved very slowly in- 

 deed the past year. Perhaps this is due in part to the delay in 

 mailing the blanks. Out of several hundred blanks distributed 

 but half a dozen have been returned. Acknowledgments are 

 due to the following persons :
