Rough Legged Buzzard. 
O. &O. Vll.Mar. 1882. p, 9S" 
As tlie Winter of 1879 and ’80 seemed to 
be a remarkable year for the appiearance of 
the Bohemian Waxwing, so did the Winter 
of 1880 and ’81 prove to be remarkable 
for the numbers of the Rough Legged Buz 
zard in this section. Of eight specimens 
that came into my possession no two were 
alike in marking. They varied in size from 
that of a small Cooper’s Hawk to that of 
the largest Red Tail. Of the finest one, a 
male, was very small and nearly black. A 
second, a female, of tremendous size and 
nearly black. A third, a medium sized 
male, of a deep chocolate brown, inter- 
mixed with a rich buff — an exceedingly 
handsome hawk. Others were taken here 
during this period. Querie. — What will 
the season of ’81 and ’82 bring forth
