Paiidion lialiaetvis carolinensis, (Gmel). AMERICAN 

 OSPREY. 



A single specimen seen flying down Knik River, June 5th. It 

 was near the mouth of the stream, and my Indians first drew my 

 attention to it. Neither they nor Mr. Hicks had seen the species 

 before, so I think it must be uncommon in the country. 



Bubo virgiiiianus satviratus, (Ridgw.J. DUSKY 

 HORNED OWL. 



Two seen and several heard. 



Ceryle alcyon, (Linn.). BELTED KINGFISHER. 

 Not uncommon ; several were seen at our base camp. 



Colaptes auratus, (Linn.). FLICKER. 



Several were seen in the timbered bottoms along the river.

 HORNED LARK. 

 A few seen in the river-bottom^ but most common above tim- 

 ber-line. 



Pica pica Imdsonica, (Sab.). AMERICAN MAGPIE. 



Several noted near our base camp, and while above timber near 

 the mouth of Knik, June 3d, we saw a pair at the head of the 

 valley. There was a nest in the edge of the timber that had the 

 appearance of being used the year before. 



Perisoreus canadensis fumifrons, (Ridgw.). ALx\S- 

 KAN JAY. 

 Several were seen about Tyoonok and at our base camp. A 

 family of young able to take care of themselves were noted. May 



22d.
