BRITISH COLUMBIA BIRDS. 23 



135. Cooper's Hawk. 



(Accipiter cooperi.) 



In my experience rare. I have taken it at Burrard 

 Inlet and on Vancouver Island. 



136. Western Goshawk. 



(Accipiter atricapillus striatulus.) 



Tolerably common throughout the Province. More 

 abundant west of the Cascades. A large, fine-looking 

 hawk ; a scourge of the farmers' poultry yards. 



137. Western Red-tailed Hawk. 



(Buteo borealis calurus.) 



Very abundant. East and west of the Cascades. 

 Another hen harrier. A great number "young of the 

 year " are taken in the neighbourhood of this city. 



138. Red-breasted Hawk. 



(Buteo lineatus elegans.) 



Not very common. I have taken it at Burrard Inlet. 

 Mr. W. B. Anderson found it at Fort Simpson, and Mr. 

 Brooks at Chilli whack. I have no record of it on the 

 Island. 



139. Swainson's Hawk. 



(Buteo swainsoni.) 

 Taken at Chilliwhack by Mr. Brooks. 



UO. American Rough-legged Hawk. 



(Archibuteo lagopus sancti-johannis.) 



I have taken this hawk at Burrard Inlet, and Mr. 

 Brooks has found it at Chilliwhack. These are the only 

 records I have of its occurrence here. The A. O. U. 

 Check-List says : " Whole of North America north of 

 Mexico." 



141. Golden Eagle. 



(Aquila chryaetos.) 



The whole of British Columbia, but chiefly east of the 

 Cascades and Rocky Mountain district, where it is a resi- 

 dent. Rarely west to Vancouver Island.
