15G. Buteo Pennsylvanicus, Bon, — BroacUvinged 

 Buzzard, " iiroad-wiiigetl Hawk," "Hen-Hawk." Not very 

 common. I have never seen it in winter. Perhaps breeds.

 Hawk. Rare winter visitor. JIatlier sluggish in its habits. 



158. Archibuteo Sancti Johannis, Gray. — Black 

 Haivk. A magnificent specimen of this handsome Hawk 

 was sent to me by Mr. J. F. Le Baron, of Ipswich; it 

 was killed while flying over the marshes. This is the 

 only instance that I can record of its capture in this sec- 

 tion.

 Common summer resident. Breeds, nesting on the ground.

 key Buzzard." Accidental. " Two specimens shot in the

 specimen flying over the meadows at Waltham in August, 

 18G7.
