26 A PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE 



in the Barrens by Audubon and said by him to be 

 "not very rare." 



Barn Owls (Family Strigidae). 



178. Barn Owl {Strix praiincola, Bonaparte). 



Occasional examples of this bird are secured at 

 Lexington. Several have been brought to me by 

 persons who regarded them as great rarities. 



Hawks and Eagles (Family Falconidee). 



179. Fish Hawk (Pandion haUcelus, Linn.). 



Occasional. Audubon observed several pairs 

 each year nesting on the Ohio River opposite the 

 falls. 



180. Sparrow Hawk (Falco sparverws, Linn.). 



A permanent resident. Very common ; often 

 seen about buildings, apparently after English 

 sparrows. 



181. Pigeon Hawk (Falco columbarius , Linn.). 



Bowling Green (Miss Sadie F. Price). 



182. Bald Eagle (Halicetus leucocephalus, Linn.). 



Audubon found the nest of this eagle, with 

 young, at the mouth of the Green River. A large 

 example was brought to the State College, some 

 years ago, that was killed near Lexington. 



183. Chicken Hawk (Buteo Uneatus, Gmelin). 



A permanent resident in Nelson County. Abund- 

 ant throughout the State. 



184. Hen Hawk (Buteo borealis, Gmelin). 



Lexington. Bowling Green (Miss Price). 



185. Goshawk (Accipüer atricapillus , Wilson). 



I have found them rather abundant in the lower 

 parts of Kentucky (Aud.).
