30. Buteo borealis calurus. Western Red-tailed Hawk. — 

 Seen at various points, — Porterville, Lebec, Gorman Station, Pacific 

 Grove, etc., and found nesting at Visalia. 



31. Buteo swainsoni. Swainson Hawk. — Merced and Fire- 

 baugh. 



32. Falco sparverius phalcena. Desert Sparrow Hawk. — Com- 

 mon in most places along the entire trip but particularly so in the dense 

 oak woods about Los Olivos, Paso Robles, and Pleyto. 



33. Megascops asio bendirei. California Screech Owl. — Visa- 

 lia. 



34. Speotyto cunicularia hypogsea. Burrowing Owl. — Observed 

 in San Joaquin Valley and found abundant in a rocky barren tract 

 some miles south of San Jose. 



35. Geococcyx calif ornianus. Roadrtjnner. — Naples to Gaviota.

 Buenaventura and Pacific Grove. 



38. Dryobates pubescens turati. Willow Woodpecker. — Mon- 

 terey. 



39. Xenopicus gravirostris. Southern White-headed Wood- 

 pecker. — Between Fort Tejon and Lebec we saw at close range three 

 individuals, although Mr. Joseph Grinnell, in his list of the birds of Fort 

 Tejon (Condor, Vol. VII, p. 13), evidently failed to find them. While we 

 took no skins it is probable the birds from this locality will be found to be 

 this variety, with the larger bill.

 very abundant. 



41. Colaptes cafer collaris. Red-shafted Flicker. — Where there 

 was any timber in the San Joaquin Valley we found this bird, and likewise 

 on the rest of the journey. A nest with almost full-fledged young was 

 noted at Firebaugh.
