found by Palmer and Munro in June 1891 (Roth.sch.ild_, op. cit . ), and have 
never been subsequently seeri, though a sizable population still survives 
on Laysan Island. The presence of a dry lake bed on Lisianski lends 
evidence to Isenbeck*s report, since the lake would have created habitat 
similar to that presently utilized by the teal on Laysan (Warner, 1965 ). 
Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus ) 
Current Status : Hypothetical accidental. 
An lf eagle-like bird M was observed by J. E. King on Lisianski in June 
I 95 O. He decided later that It was probably an osprey. (King, 1956). 
Peregrine Falcon ( Falco peregrinus ) 
Curren t Status ; Accidental. 
V ' • ! ; 
An unidentified hawk was observed pursuing Bonin Island Petrels about 
a mile off shore as the POBSP approached Lisianski on 12 March-1965* The 
following day a hawk roost with the remains of 60 to 70 shore bird kills, 
three Gray-back Tern kills, and several casts beneath it, was found in an 
ironwood tree in the interior of the island. A hawk, identified as this 
\ 
species, was independently seen by several members of the survey team on 
13 and 14 March 1965 . / 
It is worthwhile to note that a Peregrine Falcon was collected by the 
POBSP on Kure Atoll, 300 miles to the northwest, on 7 March 1965 . 
Range: Nearly cosmopolitan, ranging from Alaska to Greenland south through 
the Americas to Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands; and tne Komandorskie 
Islands south through Europe, Africa and Asia to Malaysia and the Philippines, 
* 
the East Indies, New Guinea, Australia and Tasmania; in the Southwest Pacific 
to Palau, the New Hebrides, Fiji, and the Loyalty islands, but absent, from 
islands of the eastern Pacific and New Zealand. (AOU Check-list of North 
American Birds, 1957)*
