Falco p. anatum. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1896. The Duck Hawk (which I saw across the Lake a little below Aug. 27. Leonard's Pond, as I was cruising in the sailing canoe) was a large ♀ probably the same bird seen on the 21st. She flew swiftly over the water and in over Moose Point where two Great Blue Herons, evidently alarmed by her appearance rose with a great outcry, and mounted upward in a spiral course. The Fal- con rose above them with a great bound and shot down close past them three or four times in quick succession, evidently for the mere fun of frightening them. Bethel to Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1900. As we (the Stones and I) were passing through Grafton Sept.2 Notch a female Duck Hawk appeared nearly over us, soaring in circles at a considerable height like a Buteo, but with even more ease and grace, keeping up this manner of flight until she faded out of sight in the distance. Through the glass I could see the transverse barring on the under parts, for the bird was an adult.
