76 PACIFIC COAvST AVIFAUNA [No. i. 



91. Accipiter velox (Wils.). Sharp-shinned Hawk. 



C6ast region (Nelson). Kowak Valley (Grinnell). Not common. 



92. Accipiter atricapillus (Wils.). American Goshawk. 



Escholtz Bay (Nelson). Kowak River, observed once or twice (McLenegan). 

 Not common. 



93. Archibuteo lagopus sancti-johannis (Gmel.). American Rough- 

 legged Hawk. 



Noatak River; noted several times and two nests found (McL,enegan). Lower 

 Kowak, one specimen taken (Townsend). The specimen taken by Townsend is 

 in the National Museum Collection, and has recently been identified for me, as 

 above. Townsend records it in the "Auk" as A. lagopus, and in the "Cruise of the 

 Corwin" as A. fcrriigineus, both of which undoubtedly refer to the same bird. 



94. Haliseetus leucocephalus alascanus Townsend. Northern Bald 

 Eagle. 



Noatak River, nesting commonly (McL,enegan). Specimen obtained from 

 Kolzebue Sound (Nelson). 



95. Falco rusticolus gyrfalco (Linn.). Gyrfalcon. 

 Kowak Valley, common (McLenegan, Grinnell). 



96. Falco columbarius Linn. Pigeon Hawk. 



Shores of Kotzebue Sound (Nelson). Kowak River (Townsend, McLenegan, 

 Grinnell). Moderately common. 



97. Falco sparverius Linn. American Sparrow Hawk. 



McLenegan in his Noatak list records this species as "more or less abundant, 

 principally in the mountain regions." This is, to say the least, unexpected. As 

 the Pigeon Hawk is not named in this list, I have -an idea that is what is meant. 

 At any rate I consider this record as rather doubtful, until confirmed. 



98. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis (Gmel.). American Osprey. 

 Kowak River and delta, common (Townsend, Grinnell). 



99. Asio accipitrinus (Pall.). Short-eared Owl. 



Common throughout the Kotzebue region (Nelson, Townsend, Grinnell). 



100. Scotiaptex cinerea (Gmel.). Great Gray Owl. 



Recorded only by McLenegan in the altogether too generous statement: "In 

 the dense spruce forests of the interior the Gray Owl is a well-known resident." 



Id. Nyctala tengmalmi richardsoni (Bonap.) Richardson's Owl. 

 Recorded only by Nelson as "reaching the shores of Kotzebue Sound at rare 

 and irregular intervals." 



102. Nyctea nyctea (Linn:). Snowy Owl. 



Common, chiefly coastwise (Nelson, McLenegan, Grinnell). 



103. Surnia ulula caparoch (Mull.). American Hawk Owl. 



Rarely in spring and fall on coast of Kotzebue Sound (Nelson). Hotham In- 

 let (McLenegan.) Kowak River, conmion (Grinnell).
