 Icwe; also a &quot; Painted Eagle&quot; clan, Se.pi n -tdoa, at San Juan. 



A line pair of the Ilaliseetus leucocephdlus leucocephalus (Linn.) 

 were noted at the Rito de los Frijoles Canyon, August 19, 1910. It is 

 likely that the golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos (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 fs& i *, 

 white eagle (tse , eagle; fitf*, white). This may be the young of 

 the golden eagle. Miss Fletcher speaks of &quot;the white eagle (the 

 young brown or golden eagle) &quot;.* 



Tsiso jo j big eyes (tsi, eye; so jo , big). Owl. 

 Strix occidentalis occidentals (Xantus). Spotted Owl. 



The name mahy,y may be an imitation of the hoot. Cushing gives 

 &quot; mu h-hu-tu &quot; as a Zuni imitation of the cry of an owl. 2 The Isleta 

 call owl JinuJciiide; the Jemez, Tiynu. 



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 [Brews ter]), flammulated screech owl 

 (Otus flammeolus flammeolus [Kaup]), western horned owl (Bubo 

 virginianus pallescens Stone), and Rocky Mountain pygmy owl 

 (Glaucidium gnoma pinicola Nelson) . 



Ki-mahy,y, prairie-dog owl (lei&quot;, ]&amp;gt;rairie-dog; mahy,y, owl). 



Speotyto cunicularia Jiypogsea (Bonaparte). Burrowing Owl. 

 McCall 3 found it occasionally along the Rio Grande, from Valverde 

 to Santa Fe. It doubtless occurs northward in the valley, especially 

 about prairie-dog colonies. 



Oyowi . 



Geococcyx calif ornianus (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 flying. Judge Abbott says he has seen it occasionally on the 

 mesas within a few miles of the Rito de los Frijoles.
