Stejneger, Auk, 1885, p. 187.

p- 540. 
Hierofalco candicans, Sharpe, Cat. B. Br. M. I, 1874, p. 411. 
Once observed in the Netherlands. 
Totanus glareola (L.). 
At the 14th of July a male was shot on the dunes of 
Wassenaar. The game-keeper had observed a couple of 
these birds during the last months; it is not impossible 
that this pair has bred there. 
1) Falco rusticolus Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. Ed. X, 1758, I, p. 88, is in my 
opinion not a gyr-falcon, but probably a goshawk.
