Accipiter velox (Wils.). 
Sharp-shinned Hawk. 
Very rare summer resident in southern Labrador. 
Verrill said that one was seen “evidently nesting” near Salmon 
River on July 3, 1861. Macoun says that Spreadborough saw only 
one in northern Labrador and this on July 8, 1896. 
Accipiter cooperii (Bonap.). 
Cooper’s Hawk; “ Partridge Hawk” (Stearns). 
Rare summer resident in southern Labrador. 
Stearns is our only authority for this species. He says that he saw 
the bird “several times”; and again: “I saw the tail of a Cooper’s 
Hawk in the possession of one of the natives, a few miles in the interior 
up Esquimaux River. . . .He did not regard it as at all rare.” 
Accipiter atricapillus (Wils.). 
American Goshawk; “ Partridge Hawk.” 
Uncommon permanent resident. 
Packard states that this hawk is resident in Ungava, breeding near 
Fort Chimo. A specimen was obtained in early December, 1882. 
Coues obtained an immature bird from the natives. Low says that 
a specimen was killed near Cambrian Lake, Koksoak River; also on 
the lower Hamilton River, “not common.” Spreadborough noted 
one at Seal Lake, Ungava, on July 24, 1896; another a short distance 
above Ungava Bay on August 23, 1896. He took a set of two eggs of 
this species at Great Whale River on June 18, 1896.
