Chapter XIII: Part 13

5. =Falco columbarius.= PIGEON HAWK.—A set of four eggs from Amherst Island was taken under the following circumstances: Mr. Frazar was passing a spruce-clad knoll surrounded by a boggy swamp, when he noticed a pair of Pigeon Hawks circling above the trees. Approaching, he quickly discovered their nest, built in a dense spruce at the intersection of a horizontal branch with the main stem and at a height of about ten feet. As he climbed the tree the Hawks, now thoroughly alarmed for the safety of their charge, dashed wildly about his head, frequently passing within a few feet and uttering shrill screams of anger or dismay. After taking the eggs he made a close examination of the nest, which was found to be very bulky—in fact “as large as a Crow’s,” and composed chiefly of bark with some coarse sticks surrounding the exterior, and a neat, soft lining of finer bark and _horse-hair_. From its general appearance he felt convinced that it was constructed by the Hawks themselves. This was June 9; returning five days later he found both birds flying about the knoll and their actions indicated that they had built another nest somewhere near, but it could not be found. As he was then on the point of leaving the island he shot the male, a fine adult specimen which accompanies the eggs.

The latter, now before me, are almost perfectly elliptical in shape, and measure respectively 1.57 × 1.27, 1.55 × 1.23, 1.59 × 1.24, and 1.56 × 1.25. The ground-color, in three of them, is apparently pinkish-buff, but this is almost wholly overlaid by numerous, nearly confluent blotches of dilute chocolate and purplish-brown which, with a few black spots and dashes, are uniformly spread over the entire surface of the shell. The fourth specimen has some immaculate spaces of creamy-buff about the smaller end, although the markings elsewhere are even denser than in the other three. The general coloring of these eggs is extremely rich and handsome and, excepting in size, they bear a close resemblance to the notoriously beautiful egg of the Duck Hawk.—WILLIAM BREWSTER, _Cambridge, Mass._

LIST OF ADDITIONS TO THE CATALOGUE OF NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS.—In this Bulletin for January, 1882 (page 61), there was published a list of species of birds which had been added to the fauna of North America since the publication of the last “Smithsonian” catalogue, or _Nomenclature of North American Birds_. I now give a list of subsequent additions for the benefit of those who, for various reasons, are not able to “keep the run” of all the new discoveries; and a supplement with each number of the Bulletin is contemplated, in order that all interested may keep posted in the matter.

The number prefixed indicates the position of each species in the catalogue in question.

Footnote 2:

After many careful examinations of the type specimen, I am led to the
conclusion that it does represent the perfect colored phase, since no
combination, or division, of the markings of _A. herodias_ and _A.
occidentalis_—or, in other words, no partial development of the
head-pattern of the former—would give the peculiar markings which
distinguish _A. würdemanni_.

Footnote 3:

The pattern of coloration of the head exactly as in _A. herodias_, and
not at all like _A. würdemanni_.

Footnote 4:

This bone is described in Mivart’s “Lessons in Elementary Anatomy,” p.

Footnote 8:

The difference between the season just passed in the arrival and time
of nesting of the birds, may be illustrated by the fact that in the
spring of 1880, _Setophaga ruticilla_ was noted near Wheatland April
1, while in the spring of 1878, eggs of _Protonotaria citrea_ were
obtained near Mt. Carmel April 27.

Footnote 12:

The small quadrate spots on the primaries and the indistinct tail
bands, characters which have been held as diagnostic, are both shown
by my series to be inconstant and of no varietal significance.

As my material is not at present sufficiently comprehensive to enable
me to define the limits of distribution of this race I leave the
compilation of its synonymy to those who may have better opportunities
in this respect.

This arrangement leaves a large portion of the Middle Province without
any characteristic representative, _maxwellæ_ being an Alpine form
apparently confined to the Rocky Mountains, while _kennicotti_ and
“_tricopsis_” respectively invade only its northern and southern
borders. Our knowledge of the subject is not as yet sufficiently
comprehensive to enable me to fill this gap, but all the available
evidence goes to show that _asio_, at least as above defined, is not
found to the westward of the Rocky Mountain range.

Mr. Ridgway acquiesces in the identification made of my inconstant
examples of this species and _Pipilo maculatus_, in a letter from
which I here make an extract: “The Pipilos appear to be neither true
_arcticus_ nor true _megalonyx_, and are almost as near (one of them
at least) to _maculatus_ of Mexico. They are, however, less like
_arcticus_ than either.... You will notice that one of the specimens
has a very considerable admixture of _grayish_ on the upper parts.
Now, were this color more _olivaceous_, the specimen in question would
be exactly like _maculatus_. The Song Sparrows are about equally like
_M. fasciata_ and _M. fallax_, but in colors appear to me to be nearer
the former, as _fallax_ has the markings less sharply contrasted. The
specimens are, however, more like _fallax_ in the grayness of the
plumage. Upon the whole, I would say that they are nearer _fasciata_
than _fallax_.”
