11. Duck Hawk. Falco peregrinus anatum Bonap. 
It appears that the Duck Hawk is likely to be seen at any time 
in the Bear Mountain region, though I failed to note its presence 
in 1918. On June 13, 1919, while on the crest of Bear Mountain, 
I saw a Duck Hawk as it sailed downward into close view in front 
* of me, followed by two Crows. The Hawk uttered no cry, and the 
Crows did not persist in following it. The specimen was appar- 
ently an adult female. The Duck Hawk can generally be identified 
in flight by its angular, elongated wings, while the black 
“ mustache ” markings are quite distinctive when the bird is near 
enough for these to be seen. 
12. Bald Eagle. Haliceetus leucocephalus leucocephalus (Linn.) 
On July 23, 1919, after a protracted rainy period, an adult Bald 
Eagle in brownish plumage, with showy white head and tail, visited 
Cedar Pond, in the Park interior. The Eagle loitered along the 
pond shore in several places, and foraged on the margin of one of 
the hog islands, evidently hard pressed for food and seeking dead 
fish on which to make an overdue meal. 
13. Ked-shouldered Hawk. Buteo lineatus lineatus (Gmel.) 
A nest of the Red-shouldered Hawk was found near the Guest 
House, in the margin of a swamp-fern and alder swamp, on the 
southern base of Tom Jones Mountain. The nest was in a triple 
crotch of a dead, bare chestnut tree, about thirty feet from the 
ground. The nest was made altogether of coarse, dry -sticks and 
twigs. On June 19 there were two young looking over the rim of 
the nest or standing on the inner edge, squalling lustily as I 
approached the place. Presently an adult came near, and upon 
seeing me she began squalling vigorously, “ kee-yuh,” at which the 
young dropped back out of sight and remained silent most of the 
time I waited near by. One of the youngsters was much more 
leathered than the other, and noticeably larger. For about two 
weeks the young hawks remained in the nest, finally leaving it 
with a great amount of squalling and outcries by both adults and 
juveniles. This nest was not far away from a farmhouse where the
