333 Cooper’s Hawk 
Three records. Owing to the similarity between this 
species and the sharp-shinned, several doubtful records 
of both have been eliminated. It is safe to state 
that either one or the other, and probably sometimes 
both, have been seen on all trips. 
339 Red-shouldered Hawk 
Eleven records. A pair of these birds have nested 
for several years near the Pines. 
343 Broad-winged Hawk 
Three records. Probably migrants. 
360 Sparrow Hawk 
Six records. This species nests each year in the 
valley. 
364 Osprey 
Five records. All probably migrant birds. 
373 Screech Owl 
Four records only, owing possibly to the fact that no 
pair has nested near the Pines where all nights have 
been spent. In 1919 a remarkable view of this little 
owl was obtained by many members of the party who 
were gathered in canoes about an old willow stub on 
which it was sitting. 
387 Yellow-billed Cuckoo 
Eight records. 
388 Black-billed Cuckoo 
Nine records. Both cuckoos undoubtedly nest an¬ 
nually in the valley and are sometimes recorded quite 
commonly between Howe Station and Ipswich. 
390 Belted Kingfisher 
Thirteen records. Probably a half dozen pair at least 
nest each year in the country immediately adjacent 
to the River. The persistency with which this bird 
will drive downstream in many short flights ahead of 
a canoe more than offsets his lack of numbers.
