This small falcon was seen near Red Lake on June L6« where one stooped 
gracefully at a lizard zunnlng along the groun^ and near Crystal, N. U. , on 
June 27. On the high mesa it was fafrly common at 8600 feet and v/us observed 
dally. The Uounttiin and Cxieetnut-backed Bluebirds seemed much perturbed when- 
ever this hawk appeared, and perhaps with reason, as on June 29 I saw a spar- 
row hawk with an immature Bluebird in its talons, as was shown by feather s 
that came floating down to me. On July 2 a male was seen darting vt h. tiiuirp- 
skinned Hawk that was soaring in short oiroles above the forest.
