 other water-fowl in the neighborhood. 



Falco peregrinus anatum. Duck Hawk. 



Falco columbarius. Pigeon Haayk. 



Scotiaptex cinerea? Great Gray, Owl. 



While no specimens were observed by me, I have no doubt 

 that it is a regular visitor at Homer during the winter. The 

 natives described a bird that could have been no other species. 



Nyctea nyctea? Snow^y Owl. 



Like the above species, I have in the case of this bird only 

 the observations of others, who assure me that it is seen 

 nearly every winter about Homer spit. 



Surnia ulula caparoch. Aivleeican Hawk Owl. 

 I secured one specimen. 



Asio accipitrinus ? Shoht-eaked Owl. 



Three specimens were seen and the remains of one were 

 examined at Sand Point, Popof Island. It is said to be very 

 common there during the summer. 



Dryobates villosus leucomelas. Noethern Hairy" 

 Woodpecker. 



Dryobates pubescens nelsoni. Alaskan Downy Wood- 

 pecker. 



This was the most numerous of the Woodpeckers.
