M Dunton. 1948 Duck Hawk? 1 16 Aug Holkham Bay, Alaska Kohlhase's Fox Farm, Hubbardland. A hawk that resembled a small Cooper's Hawk except for pointed wingtips was seen to fly from the conifers just east of the house & alight on the roof of the wood shed. It flew from here to a post behind the wood shed, then up into the top of the coni- fers to the north of the house. Later that day a hawk of this same type was seen flying over the Bay in the direction from Duck Creek to Crow Island. 17 Aug. Holkham Bay, Alaska. 0.5 mi west Crow Island. I was drifting along in my skiff when this hawk flew by 100 ft. away. It turned & flew directly toward me. 50 feet from me it changed course, flew off 500 ft. & made another flight straight for me at about 20 ft high. Then flew toward Crow Island.
