Falco columbarius. 1838, Head of Lake Umbagog. September 19. On the way back to the boat shot a young male Pigeon Hawk. It chased a Flicker in play, then alighted on a tall stub. It uttered a clattering cry. 1838, Chases a Titlark. Head of Lake Umbagog. October 9. At least 200 Titlarks over the meadows. A Pigeon Hawk chased one for about 500 yards and made at least 20 swoops at it but missed every one, the bird finally escaping. The Hawk then a- lighted on a stub, but flew as we approached. 1838, Sweat Meadow, Head of Lake Umbagog. October 10. Wounded bird taken by Red Squirrel. While about to land, a Pigeon Hawk dashed past me. I missed with the first but brought him down with the second barrel. He fell through the branches of a leafless maple. We left him for ten minutes or so feeling sure of him, then going to the spot could find no trace of him at first. Finally I found where he struck the ground and then climbed up on a low stub, the snow all bloody. Leading to this stub was the track of a Red Squirrel. Leading away from it the same track with a spot a blood about two inches in front of each mark of the fore paws. The inference is plain. A squirrel saw the Hawk fall, seized him and carried him off. I followed the track into a tangle of alders and fallen trees and finally had to abandon it. "Don" failed to show any signs of scent. An added proof that the Hawk was taken off bodily.
