$6 FALCON. 



ruginous brown : the under parts, thighs, and vent, pale yellow- 

 ifh white, with a dafh of brown on the middle of each feather: 

 quills dark alh: tail light brown above, blueifh afh beneath: 

 legs brown : the feathers on the head are rather long, fo as to 

 form a kind of creft. 

 Manners. This fpecies inhabits Senegal, and is called there by the natives 



Tanas. Though it is fomewhat like the Falcon tribe, yet it dif- 

 fers entirely in it's nature, as it feeds oftener on fifh than on any 

 other prey ; taking them out of the water as the Ofprey, above 

 defcribed. It does not fwallow the fifh whole, but, retiring to a 

 convenient place, eats it piece-meal.
