Falco sparverius.
Lake Umbagog.
1898. Just as we were leaving the house boat this morning we
Sept.11. saw two Sparrow Hawks playing together, chasing one another
along the shore, alighting on the topmost sprays of the pines
and spruces. Some of their aerial evolutions were very grace-
ful and beautiful. While we were at the Forks another bird
of the same species passed directly over us.
