A fine pair of the Haliseetus leucocephalus leucocephalus (Linn.) 

 were noted at the liito 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' fss^''i'^, 

 'white eagle' {tse', eagle; fss^', white). This may be the young of 

 the golden eagle. Miss Fletclier speaks of "the white eagle (the 

 young brown or golden eagle) ".^ 



Mqhy,7j. 



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



Strix occidentalis occidentalis (Xantus). Spotted Owl. 

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

 " mu'h-hu-tu' " as a Zuni imitation of the cry of an owl.^ The Isleta 

 call owl hnukuue; the Jemez, liitnu. 



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 aiJceni [Brewster]), flammulated screech owl 

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

 virginianus pallescens Stone), and Rocky Mountain pygmy owl 

 {Glaucidium gnoma pinicola Nelson) . 



Ki'mahiiy, 'prairie-dog owl' (H", prairie-dog; mqhy,y, owl). 



Speotyto cunicularia hypogsea (Bonaparte). Burrowing Owl. 

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

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

 about prairie-dog colonies. 



'Ogoivi'. 



Geococcyx californianus (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 Abl)ott says he has seen it occasionally on the 

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