Duck Hawk {Falco feregrinus anatum). A specimen of this bird, 
in juvenile plumage, was shot on Shelter Island on Oct. 2 and sent me 
to mount. It was a female, in good condition, but had scaled down on

remains of several of these insects.

Falco peregrinus anatum . — A single bird of this species was observed 
as it passed over the valley of West River, or the Inlet of Canandaigua 
Lake, on June 2 , 1906 . I believe this is the second record of this bird in 
Yates County.
