135. Cooper’s Hawk. 
(Accipiter cooperi.) 
In my experience rare. I have taken it at Burrard 
Inlet and on Vancouver Island. 
136. Western Goshawk. 
(Accipiter atricapillus striatulus.) 
Tolerably common throughout the Province. More 
abundant west of the Cascades. A large, fine-looking 
hawk ; a scourge of the farmers’ poultry yards. 
137. Western Red-tailed Hawk. 
(Buteo borealis calurus. ) 
Very abundant. ast and west of the Cascades. 
Another hen harrier. A great number “young of the 
year” are taken in the neighbourhood of this city. 
138. Red-breasted Hawk. 
- (Buteo lineatus elegans.) 
Not very common. I have taken it at Burrard Inlet. 
Mr. W. B. Anderson found it at Fort Simpson, and Mr. 
Brooks at Chilliwhack. I have no record of it on the 
Island. 
139. Swainson’s Hawk. 
(Buteo swainsoni.)

140. American Rough-legged Hawk. 
(Archibuteo lagopus sancti-johannis. ) 
I have taken this hawk at Burrard Iulet, and Mr. 
Brooks has found it at Chilliwhack. These are the only 
records I have of its occurrence here. The A. O. U. 
Check-List says: “Whole of North America north of 
Mexico.” 
141. Golden Eagle. 
(Aquila chryaetos.) 
The whole of British Columbia, but chiefly east of the 
Cascades and Rocky Mountain district, where it is a resi- 
dent. Rarely west to Vancouver Island.
