of the male and of most females. The mourning dove is used for 
food by the Indians. Our San Ildefonso Indian informants described 
minutely the whistling of its wings and its call notes, which one of 
the informants rendered by ’o2—’0—’o—’o. When this imitation was 
heard one of the old Indians broke out into a ‘‘rain song,’’ which led 
us to suspect that this bird was connected in his mind with rain.

’Okdwe. 
Cathartes aura septentrionalis Wied. Turkey Vulture. 
We saw three in the Jemez Mountains, at the edge of the Valle 
Grande, and one at Rito de los Frijoles Canyon. Our Indian inform- 
ants said that this bird is confined to the mountains, lives on dead 
meat, does not catch animals alive, and has a red head.with no p‘o, 
‘hair,’ ‘feathers,’ on it. The Tewa did not eat the ’okdwe. They 
were shown pictures of this vulture and of the California vulture or 
condor (Gymnogyps californianus [Shaw]), and one old man who had 
been in California at once pointed to the latter and exclaimed, 
kalip‘ounid okdwe, ‘California vulture.’ 
Qwe ypr', ‘red tail’ (qwe'y, tail; pi, red). 
Buteo borealis calurus Cassin. Western Redtail. 
This large hawk is fairly common all over the plateau. <A pair 
nested near camp at the Rito. The Indians recognize it by the color 
of the tail and the screaming call note. They do not eat it. It is 
probable that Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsona Bonaparte) is also 
common, but we identified none with certainty. 
Besides the que ypv' the Tewa have names for three other kinds 
of hawk. T fuge is the kind of hawk which the Mexicans:call gavilan. 
The tfuge is said to bea large bird. Qwe'yt'u’, ‘spotted tail’ (qwe'y, 
tail; ¢yw°, spotted) is called by the Mexicans cola pinta, these words 
having the same meaning. 
The quwe'yt'y’ is smaller than the tfuge. Ty is the smallest species 
of hawk known to the Tewa and is of the color of a ju'y, ‘mocking- 
bird’

Tse’. 
Eagle. 
Halizetus leucocephalus leucocephalus (Linn.). Bald Eagle. 
Eagles of various colors are mentioned in Tewa mythology. Tse 
is the tsizetujo, ‘chieftam bird’ (tsive, bird; tujo, chieftain), and 
symbolizes the zenith in the beast-identifications of the world- 
regions. The Isleta call eagle fuize; the Cochiti, #déme; the Hopi,
