Steganopus tricolor. Wilson Phalarope. Common in migration at Coventry 
(Smith). 
Recurvirostra americana. Avocet. From descriptions given him Smith is sat- 
isfied this bird occurs at times. Since this was written he writes me that during 
the past season two avocets were sent to him for mounting, one of which was killed 
about two miles above Norwood, and the other about a mile above Coventry, both 
having been taken some time between August 15 and September 15. 
Gallinago delicata. Jack Snipe. A few seen each year at Coventry (Smith). 
Actitis macularia. Spotted Sandpiper. Common along the streams (Smith). 
Numenius longirostris. Long-billed Curlew. Fairly common (Smith). 
Oxyechus vociferus. Killdeer. Common summer resident thruout the region 
in suitable places. 
Pedioecetes phasianellus subsp. Sharp-tailed Grouse. Some seen every winter; 
they breed at higher elevations (Smith). 
Centrocercus urophasianus. Sage Grouse. Very common in winter. Breeds 
about 600 to 1000 feet higher than the region covered by these notes (Smith). 
Meleagris gallopavo subsp. Wild Turkey. Smith says he saw one in San 
Miguel Canon about two miles above Cottonwood Creek in January, 1898, and that 
he heard of them a year or two after that, but knows nothing definite or reliable. 
Zenaidura macroura carolinensis. Mourning Dove. A very common summer 
resident all over the region. Smith tells me that he once found a nest with one 
egg and a newly hatched young one on August 16. 
Cathartes aura septentrionalis. Turkey Buzzard. Not uncommon in summer 
(Smith). 
Circus hudsonius. Marsh Hawk. A common summer resident (Smith). 
Accipiter velox. Sharp-shinned Hawk. Quite common; does not breed in 
this region, but does in the pines at higher elevations (Smith). 
Accipiter cooperii. Cooper Hawk. I shot one in Naturita Canon near Coven- 
try, April 29, 1908, and another was seen at the same time. 
Accipiter atricapillus. American Goshawk. Fairly common in winter (Smith). 
April 10, 1908, we found the freshly killed remains of one at the upper end of the 
Hast Paradox Valley. 
Buteo borealis calurus. Western Red-tail. Common summer resident (Smith). 
Buteo swainsoni. Swainson Hawk. A hawk which Smith thinks is this 
species breeds in the region. 
Aquila chrysaetos. Golden Eagle. Common; some, at least, are resident 
(Smith) . 
Haliaeetus leucocephalus. Bald Eagle. Rare; seen only in winter (Smith). 
Falco sparverius phalcena. Desert Sparrow Hawk. A common summer resi- 
dent thruout the region. 
Bubo virginianus pallescens. Western Horned Owl. A common breeder 
(Smith). 
Speotyto cunicularia hypogaea. Burrowing Owl. Seen in April, 1908, in the 
East Paradox Valley. They are certainly not common, for Smith had never seen 
them in the region before, and there are plenty of prairie dogs and dog towns. 
Ceryle alcyon. Belted Kingfisher. Seen occasionally along the streams 
(Smith) . 
Dryobates villosus monticola. Rocky Mountain Hairy Woodpecker. Not com- 
mon; resident. 
Dryobates pubescens homorus. Batchelder Woodpecker. Either four females 
were seen at Bedrock, or one female was seen on four different days, probably the
