Hawk Owl, of which two races appear to exist in 

 1 the North of America and Europe, has only occurred 

 some half dozen times in this country. 



It makes no nest, but breeds in a hole in a decayed 

 tree. 



The eggs, which are from five to eight in number, are 

 white, smooth, and somewhat glossy. 



In Lapland it frequently takes possession of and breeds 

 in the nest-boxes placed by the peasants for the use of the 

 Ducks.
