swiftly over,the water and in over Moose Point where two Great

1900. As we (the Stones and I) were passing through Grafton 
Sept.2 Notch a female Duck Hawk appeared nearly over us, soaring in 
circles at a considerable height like a Buteo, but with even 
more ease and grace, keeping up this manner of flight until she 
faded out ox sight in the distance. Through the glass I could 
see the transverse barring on the under parts, for the bird 
was an adult.
