Nesting of the Goshawk in Southern New Hampshire. — On the 21st 
°f July, 1902, I came upon a large Accipiter in a clearing in some woods 
at Alstead, N. H. The bird screamed loudly and when I began to search 
for a nest, flew at me twice like a bolt, so that I instinctively put up an 
elbow to guard my head. I found a nest containing two nearly full-grown 
young in a smallish pine about forty feet from the ground. On the 27th 
I saw at 4.45 A. M. a full-grown Goshawk kill and begin to devour a pullet 
under the window of the farm-house where I lived. I therefore on the 
29th shot one of the young hawks from the nest and sent it to Mr. 
Brewster, who has identified it as a young Goshawk (Accipiter atricapil- 
lus). Alstead is seventeen miles from Keene, in southern New Hamp- 
shire. According to Mr. G. M. Allen this is the most southern breeding 
record which he can find for this bird in New England. — Ralph Hoff-
