(Snowy Owl) J. H. Sage writes me from Portland, Conn,
under date of November 21, 1906 "A Snowy Owl
was shot in this vicinity yesterday and brought to me.
It had been seen for nearly a week."
  Hawk Owl. When at Portland Me, on Nov. 7 I
saw a mounted Hawk Owl which had been taken only
a short time before somewhere in Maine. James
(one of Hinds's taxidermists) who showed it to me said
that he had heard of others & thought there had been
a rather extensive flight into Maine.
  Gos-hawk. When in Portland, Me., on Nov 7th I
was shown a number of Goshawks which had been taken
in Maine within the past week or two and mounted
at W. D. Hinds's establishment. Most of them were young
birds. Writing from Providence R. I. on November 9th
Angell & Cash say "We are receiving a remarkable number
of adult Goshawks 90% of whom have parts of
Ruffed Grouse in stomach or crop. Grouse are very
plentiful here this season which may account for
the presence of so many Goshawks."
