332. Accipiter velox (Wils.). [432.] Sharp-shinned Hawk. 
Range much the same as that of Cooper’s Hawk, but a little more 
northern. In the spring of 1884 very few notes were contributed on 
its movements, and they relate to its arrival at latitude 41° 30/ in Illi- 
nois and Iowa about the middle of March, and at Portage la Prairie, 
Manitoba, April 16. 
In the spring of 1885 the Sharp-shinned Hawk was noted, without 
any regularity, from various stations from Mount Carmel, Mo., Febru- 
ary 17 (next one seen April 7), to Minneapolis, Minn., April 9. 
In the fall of 1885 the first was seen at Bonham, Tex., October 14, 
and the last at Mount Carmel, Mo., October 16. In western Texas it 
is “abundant in fall; less so in winter” (Lloyd). 
333. Accipiter cooperi (Bonap.). [431.] Cooper’s Hawk. 
Breeds throughout the Mississippi Valley, wintering in the southern 
parts. In the winter of 1883-84 there was no record north of lati- 
tude 38°. One was caught at Pierce City, Mo., in the latter part of 
February, whose feathers were so coated with ice that it could not fly. 
In the spring of 1884 it reached Saint Louis March 11; March 25 and 26 
was seen at Danville, Ill., and Laporte City, Iowa; and was reported 
from Fridley, Minon., March i8. 
In the spring of 1885 the first Cooper’s Hawk was seen at Mount 
Carmel, Mo., April 5, and the last May 10. The first was noted at Grin- 
nell, Iowa, March 31; Laporte City, Iowa, and Lake City, Minn., April 
26. In the fall of 1885 the last was seen at Mount Carmel October 30. 
In western Texas it is found with the preceding, common in fall and 
not rare in winter. 
334. Accipiter atricapillus (Wils.) [433.] Goshawk. 
A tolerably common fall and winter visitant in Manitoba (Seton), and 
a rare winter visitant to the northern part of the Mississippi Valley, 
coming south to Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois. Given by Mr. Agers- 
borg as a winter visitor at Vermillion, Dak., but rare. 
In the spring of 1885 a Goshawk was seen at Lanesboro, Minn., 
April 4. 
334a. Accipiter atricapillus striatulus Ridgw. [433a.] Western Goshawk. 
Mr. Lloyd states that in western Texas, in December, 1885, he shot a 
male Western Goshawk and saw its mate several times. 
335. Parabuteo unicinctus harrisi (Aud.). [434.] Harris’s Hawk. 
The normal range of Harris’s Hawk is from southern Louisiana and 
southern Texas southward. In the valley of the Lower Rio Grande, in 
Texas, it is an abundant resident. At Eagle Pass, in southwestern 
Texas, it was reported as an abundant summer resident. 
337. Buteo borealis (Gmel.). [436.] Wed-tailed Hawk. 
Breeds throughout Manitoba and the Mississippi Valley, and stays 
quite far north in winter. During the winter of 188485 it was reported 
from Vermillion, Dak., and Chicago, Il.
