118 DICTIONARY OF NAMES OF BRITISH BIRDS. 
Haretp: The LONG-TAILED DUCK. (Orkney.) From 
haveld, the Icelandic name of the species. 
Hartan: The PINTAIL. (Wexford.) In the same county the 
RED-BREASTED MERGANSER is known as Land Harlan. 
Harte: The GOOSANDER (female or young). Also the 
RED-BREASTED MERGANSER (Orkneys and Shet- 
lands.) From the Fr. name Harle. 
HariEquin. According to Hett the BUFFEL-HEADED 
DUCK is sometimes so called. 
HARLEQUIN-DUCK [No. 305]. This name was first given 
by Pennant (“ Arctic Zoology,” 11, No. 490, 1785). Newton, 
however, says it was anglicized by Forster in 1791 from 
Linneus’s Anas histrionica. It is the Harlequin Garrot 
of Selby. 
Hartey: The SWIFT. (Ferfar.) 
Harpy, Harpy Duck Hawk, or WHITE-HEADED Harpy: The 
MARSH-HARRIER. 
Harry Dutcuman : The HOODED CROW. From the supposi- 
tion that the winter-immigrants come from Holland. 
HaseL Hen, Hazet Hen, or Hazen Grouse: The female 
BLACK GROUSE. Occurs in Merrett (1667) as ‘“‘ Hasel 
Hen ” and in Willughby as “ Hazel Hen,” the fatter saying 
that it is the Attagen of Gesner (see Attagen). 
Hatcuer: The HEDGE-SPARROW. (Provincial.) 
HAWFINCH [No. 16]. The name probably implies a partiality 
for haw-berries, but can also mean hedge-finch, the original 
meaning of the word haw being hedge, from A.Sax. haga, an 
enclosure. Occurs first in Willughby (1678). It is the 
Grosbeak or Haw-Grosbeak of many authors from Pennant 
to Montagu. 
Haw Grospeak. See HAWFINCH. 
Hawk Day-Owt. Macgillivray’s name for the Hawk-Owls, 
now separated as AMERICAN HAWK-OWL and EURO- 
PEAN HAWK-OWL. 
Hawk oF THE First coat. A falconer’s term for a Hawk of 
the fourth year, when it has attained its full growth and 
perfection. A Hawk of the fifth year was moreover called 
‘a hawk of the second coat,” and so on. 
Hawk-Own. Montagu gives this as a provincial name for the 
SHORT-EARED OWL, on account of the smallness of its 
head, which gives it a somewhat hawk-like appearance, and 
Saxby gives it as a Shetland name for that species. The 
name, however, properly belongs to the EUROPEAN and 
AMERICAN HAWK-OWLS, members of the genus Surnia
