but it is very seldom that the Black Hawk is seen about the tree- 
tops. 
Falco peregrinus anatum (Bonap.). Duck Hawk.— Col. 
Feilden obtained a female of this species from Mr. E. N. Armstrong 
of the Crane hotel, St. Philip’s, Barbados, which was shot on the 
windward side of the island, November 17, 1888. 
On St. Vincent a few of these hawks are seen every winter, 
when they attract attention by their great quickness of wing, and 
are distinguished by the natives from the Fish Hawk, and the local 
“Chicken Hawk” (Buteo antillarurn). They are found about the 
cliffs of the leeward coast chiefly. 
The Duck Hawk is of casual occurrence in the Grenadines. I 
had a bird described to me which was shot on Mustique and was 
probably of this species. It has not been found on Grenada. 
Falco columbarius. ' Pigeon Hawk.— Schomburgk gives 
this species as resident in Barbados in his time. Although he is not 
confirmed by Hughes, there is a possibility that it may have bred in 
Barbados, as it is said to occur throughout the year on Dominica at 
the present time. The Pigeon Hawk is now of casual occurrence 
on Barbados in the winter months. 
On St. Vincent it is a rather uncommon migrant; I saw one near 
Calliaqua in January, 1904. 
Wells records this bird as a migrant, arriving in Grenada and 
Carriacou with the shore birds. It is probably a casual visitor to 
the other Grenadines. 
Falco sparverius caribbaearum (Gmel.). Kili Hawk ; 
Sparrow Hawk. — Col. Feilden says that on October 27, 1888, 
while driving in Christ Church parish, Barbados, a small hawk 
dashed past the horse’s head; it was, he thinks, undoubtedly of this 
species. 
I saw a Sparrow Hawk at Kingstown, St. Vincent, on February 
6, 1904, and another at Industry estate, Bequia, December 2, 1903, 
but it is probable both were stragglers, as I did not see nor hear of 
any others in these islands, except that I was told that Mr. H. G. 
Selwyn Branch once took a specimen at Bequia. 
On Grenada it is a rather rare resident, mainly in the windward 
district. I only met with it once, on the outskirts of St. George’s, 
in May, 1904.
