Birds of Dead River Region, Mo. F.H. O. 
87. Buteo borealis, (Red-tailed Hawk). A speci- 
men in full plumage secured at Eustis in June 
and another in September. By no means a rare 
bird. Several were seen sitting on the dead stubs 
left standing in the clearings, or flying in slow 
circles over the pastures. They nested near 
Stratton, as I was shown several end-blown eggs 
of this “ Hen Hawk ” as the result of sundry 
hawking expeditions by a farmer’s boy in early 
May.
