400 Grantni, Alaska Peninsula Notes. Bes 
Archibuteo lagopus sancti-johannis. RouGu-Leccep Hawx.— 
This was the only hawk that I was able to positively identify — I collected 
one. They were in fair numbers and nesting on the cliffs both overlooking 
the bay and further inland. 
Evidently there is mutual respect between them and the Bald Eagle, for 
I have seen their nests on the cliffs in close proximity to each other. They 
were very noisy at times. 
Haliaétus leucocephalus alascanus. Batp Hacie.— It was in evi- 
dence along the coast all the way from Cordova; when traveling along 
near the shore a white spot in the edge of green timber usually produced 
an eagle. Here they were numerous and from the home camp I could 
always see them along the beach or the banks of the rivers. Many codfish 
were stranded on the sands and afforded an abundance of food for eagles 
and gulls and they were generally closely associated. They nested on the 
cliffs overlooking the bay and further inland as well, but always near water. 
On the 31st of May I found a nest containing two eggs. On the 2d of 
June I found another nest containing only one egg; this nest was a mere 
depression in the heavy grass situated on the top of a butte inland and 
overlooking Big River. It was easily approached. It never contained 
more than the one egg and on the 15th of June this was destroyed by gulls. 
On the same day I saw two gulls attacking an immature but large eagle 
and one of the former gave a wonderful exhibition of flying — making a 
complete downward somersault in mid-air. 
On the 28th of June I found a nest on the cliffs overlooking the bay con- 
taining two young which I photographed. They were as large as fair 
sized chickens and covered with grey down in appearance like wool. 
They looked well fed but were very logy and I was obliged to stir them up 
to make them look animated. The nest was clean but close by were the 
bones and remains of quite a few water birds. The carcass of the first 
bear obtained was left in an open park surrounded by ridges and whenever 
we passed that way we were certain to find a gallery of eagles and ravens. 
I learned that eagles were sometimes shot by the people up here for the 
plumes found on the body under the wings. 
Cryptoglaux funerea richardsoni? Owu.— The guide told me of a 
small owl he had often seen in the alders and willows but I was never 
fortunate enough to see one. On several occasions late in the afternoon, 
I heard the notes of some species of owl and I thought it might be the 
Richardson’s. 
Pica pica hudsonia. American Maapir.— This bird quickly made 
his presence known about camp and compelled us to protect any fresh 
meat we desired to keep for ourselves. The guide set baited rat traps for 
them but they proved too wary to be caught that way. Their bulky nests 
were often seen in the alders. Some fully feathered young were common 
among the rocks along the beach early in July and easily caught by hand. 
Perisoreus canadensis fumifrons. AutaskKA JAy.—QOne day in 
June I saw four birds at one place and they were the only ones I saw.
