Review of Perkins’ “Birds of Vermont.” 
correctly, by a writer of the last century,” referring to Williams (p. 112) 
where the Falco furcatus is mentioned as occurring apparently in equal 
abundance with such birds as the Blue fay. On this data it does not 
deserve enumeration. (N. E. Bird Life, Vol. II, p. 103). 
91. Circus hudsonius. Marsh Hawk.— A not uncommon summer 
resident. According to W. A. Briggs it is seen at Montpelier during 
mild winters. April to October. 
92. Accipiter velox. ShArp-shinned Hawk. — Occasionally winters. 
93 - Accipiter cooperii. Cooper’s Hawk. — -Occasionally rarely winters. 
94. Accipiter atricapillus. Goshawk. — According to Knowlton a nest 
was taken in Rutland in 1875 by H. E. Bougbton. (Brandon Union, Feb. 
10, 1882.) 
95. Buteo borealis. Red-tailed Hawk. 
96. Buteo lineatus. Red-shouldered Hawk. 
Buteo swainsoni. Swainson’s Hawk. This record should be con¬ 
firmed. 
97. Buteo platypterus. Broad-winged Hawk. — Not uncommon. Apirl 
14 to — 
98. Archibuteo lagopus sancti-johannis. Rough-legged Hawk.— 
Larrabeds Pt ., young taken Oct., 1879, by J. Richardson. Towtishend , 
1895, Evans. St. Albans , Edson. 
99. Aquila chrysaetos. Golden Eagle. —Said to have nested by Drs. 
Cutting and Brewer. Pittsford two immature birds taken, one in 1873 
and one in 1875, J. Richardson. 
100. Halisetus leucocephalus washingtoni. Washington’s Eagle. — 
Said to breed in Castleton, Hubbardton, and along the shores of Lake 
Champlain. 
Falco rusticolus gyrfalco. Gyrfalcon. — This species was re¬ 
corded bv Dr. Brewer as a “rare resident” at Dummerston. As none of 
the Gyrfalcons are known to breed in the United States this record was 
probably an error, at least it does not deserve enumeration. (Proc. 
B. S. N. H. 1875, p. 444.) 
101. Falco peregrinus anatum. Duck Hawk. — Breeds at Owl’s Head 
(Canada) on Lake Memphremagog, at Brandon, at Hawk Hill, Wall¬ 
ingford, Little Ascutney, and on Mt. Annanance (Willoughby). 
102. Falco columbarius. Pigeon Hawk. —Its occurrence as a summer 
resident needs confirmation. 
103. Falco sparverius. Sparrow Hawk. — April 9 to—. 
104. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis. Osprey. — Does not remain 
through the winter in New England. 
iot;. Strix pratincola. Barn Owl. — An accidental visitant from the 
south. The only definite record is Lyndon , a male taken June 4, 1S94, 
M. G. Tyler. (Auk, 1894, p. 253.) 
106. Asio wilsoniana. Long-eared Owl. 
107. Asio accipitrinus. Short-eared Owl. —Local. Its wintering is 
unlikely, though it may occasionally.
