Accipiter atricapillus. Pine Point, Lake Umbagog, Maine. Goshawk chases a Kingfisher. 1900. Sept.10. As Will Stone and I were standing on the deck of the house boat this morning an Osprey closely followed by a Gos- hawk suddenly appeared over the cove and started out across the Lake. The Osprey kept on towards the Outlet, but the Goshawk turned back and, flying very swiftly with rapidly beating wings like a Duck Hawk, shot past our boat within 30 yards and swooped at a Kingfisher which was flying along the shore. When he was within 15 or 20 feet of the Kingfisher the latter doubled or rather zig-zagged, at the same time rattling loudly and incessantly. The Hawk then abandoned the chase and turning slightly disappeared among the trees. From this experience and others that I have had with Goshawks I should say that they are swifter and more powerful fliers than either the Cooper's or Sharp-shinned Hawks, and that they are much more given to chasing their prey, although, like the other two birds just mentioned, they are apt to give up the pursuit if the first dash fails. On the wing they closely resemble large Cooper's Hawks.
