A fine pair of the Halixetus leucocephalus leucocephalus (Linn.) 
were noted at the Rito de los Frijoles Canyon, August 19,1910. It is 
likely that the golden eagle, Aquila chrysaétos (Linn.), occurs also in 
this region, but we have no definite record of it. The informants 
said that there is also a kind of eagle which they call tse’ tse’’i’, 
‘white eagle’ (tse*, eagle; fsg*, white). This may be the young of 
the golden eagle. Miss Fletcher speaks of ‘the white eagle (the 
young brown or golden eagle) ”’.! 
Mahuy. 
Tsiso’jo', ‘big eyes’ (tst, eye; so’jo’, big). Owl. 
Strix occidentalis occidentalis (Xantus). Spotted Owl. 
The name mahyy may be an imitation of the hoot. Cushing gives 
“mu'h-hu-tu’”’ as a Zufii imitation of the ery of an owl2 The Isleta 
eall owl hnukwise; the Jemez, hunu. 
At least one pair nested at El Rito de los Frijoles, and serenaded 
our camp nightly. Though we have found no definite record of them, 
the following species may be expected in the region: Long-eared owl 
(Asio wilsonianus [Lesson]), short-eared owl (Asio flammeus [Pont.]), 
saw-whet owl (Cryptoglaux acadica acadica [Gmelin]), Aiken’s 
screech owl (Otus asio aikeni [Brewster]), flammulated screech owl 
(Otus flammeolus flammeolus [Kaup]), western horned owl (Bubo 
virginianus pallescens Stone), and Rocky Mountain pygmy owl 
(Glaucidium gnoma pinicola Nelson). 
Kv mahyy, ‘prairie-dog owl’ (kv, prairie-dog; mghuy, owl). 
Speotyto cunicularia hypogea (Bonaparte). Burrowing Owl. 
McCall * found it occasionally along the Rio Grande, from Valverde 
to Santa Fe. It doubtless occurs northward in the valley, especially 
about prairie-dog colonies. 
'Ogowr'. 
Geococcyx californianus (Lesson). Road-runner. 
The Mexicans of New Mexico call this bird paisano. Some Ameri- 
cans have called it chaparral cock. 
This long-tailed, long-legged bird seeks safety by running rather 
than by flymg. Judge Abbott says he has seen it occasionally on the 
mesas within a few miles of the Rito de los Frijoles.
