American Hawk Owl ( Surnia ulula caparoch ) in Rhode Island 
I am indebted to Messrs. Angell and Cash, taxidermists, Providence, R. I., 
for information regarding the capture of a male Hawk Owl at West Green- 
wich, R. I., Nov. 16, 1906. The stomach was empty. I think that this 
may be given as the first authentic record for this species in the State. 
The only previous citation would seem rather a doubtful record (Birds 
of Rhode Island, Howe and Sturtevant, 1899, p. 63) as follows: “The 
only record is of one taken by Mr. W. A. Aldrich (exact locality not 
known).”— Ruthven Deane, Chicago t III.
