IS86.J Anthony on Birds of Washhigtoii Coitiitv, Oregon. l6^ 



31. Haliaetus leucocephalus. Bald Eagle. — Rare. Two seen in 

 December. 



T,2. Falco columbarius. Pigeon Hawk. — Apparently rare ; only one 

 or two seen. 



33. Falco sparverius. Sparrow Ham'k. — Abundant summer resident. 



34. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis. Osprey. — Rare in the countv; 

 one or two seen flying over Beaverton in May. 



35. Ulula cinerea. Great Gray Owl. — Very rare. A very large 

 Owl was described to me which I think was this species. 



36. Nyctala acadica. Saw-whet Owl. — Rare. One seen in July ; 

 occasionally- heard in April. 



37. Megascops asio kennicottii. Kennicott's Screech Owl. — A not 

 uncommon resident. One was caught in a steel-trap set in a deep nar- 

 row ditch. As the trap was sunk at least four inches under the water, 

 and was not baited, it is a puzzle to me how the bird was caught. 



38. Bubo viginianus .subarcticus. Western Horned Owl. — Resi- 

 dent ; but more common in winter. I am satisfied that var. saturatior \?, 

 found witli us in winter, but whether in summer, I am not able to say. 



39. Glaucidium gnoma. Pygmy Owl. — Common resident. Often 

 seen flying about in the bright sunlight, apparently seeing as well at that 

 time as at night. 



40. Dryobates villosus harrisi. Harris's Woodpecker.— Very com- 

 mon resid?nt. 



41. Dryobates pubescens. Downy Woodpecker. — Not so common 

 as the preceding. 



42. Dryobates pubescens gairdneri. Gairdner's Woodpecker. — 

 Seems to be very rare; only one or two seen. 



43. Sphyrapicus ruber. Red-breasted Sapsucker. — Common resi- 

 dent. Seems to prefer the orchards to the forests, although often seen 

 in the maples. A pair were seen excavating for a nest April 10, but 

 as it was in a very large stub, and fifty feet from the ground, thev were 

 allowed to raise their brood in peace. 



44. Ceophlceus pileatus. Pileated Woodpecker. ' Wood-cock' of 

 the natives. — Found everywhere where the timber is thick and heavy. 

 I have often walked up to within fifteen feet of one of these Woodpeckers 

 and watched him for some time before he took fright. 



45. Melanerpes torquatus. Lewis's Woodpecker. — Common resi- 

 dent. Seems to have quite an attachment for certain locah'ties, common- 

 ly oak timber, where the same birds are always to be found. 



46. Colaptes cafer. Red-shafted Flicker. — Abundant resident. 

 Since the new subspecies saturatior was assigned to this district by Mr. 

 Ridgway, I am at a loss to know just what disposal to make of this 

 bird. 



47. Chordeiles virginianus henryi. Western Nighthawk. — Abun- 

 dant during summer. Nests in openings in the timber. 



48. Chaetura vauxi. Vaux's Swift. — Common summer resident. 

 Hunts in. flocks of fifteen or twenty. A pair were found nesting in a
