81. Accipiter atricapillus (WUA). 334. 



American Goshawk. 



A specimen of this bird was shot by the late George H. Ferris, 

 on the Deerfield Hills some years ago. He was hunting grouse in 

 the thick brush and wearing a fur cap, when the hawk, undoubtedly 

 mistaking this head covering for some small animal, swooped upon 

 it ; but discovered its mistake before striking, and swerving to one 

 side, passed close to Mr. Ferns' head, and rising among the trees, 

 immediately lit, and was shot from its perch. The bird was 

 mounted and preserved.
