. New England bird life; being a manual of New England ornithology: rev.and ed. from the manuscript of Winfrid A. Stearns . Birds. FALCO SPARVERIUS : SPARROW HAWK. 119 with numerous black bars ; wing coverts in the male ashy-blue, with or without black spots, in the female like the back ; quills in both sexes blackish with numerous pale or white bars on the inner webs ; tail chestnut, in the male with one broad black subterminal bar, white tip, and outer feather mostly white with several black bars ; in the male the whole tail with numerous im- perfect black bars ; below white, variously tinged with buff, or tawny, in the male with a few black spots or none, in the fe- male with many brown streaks ; throat and vent nearly white and immaculate in both sexes ; bill dark horn, cere and feet yellow to bright orange. Length, lo.oo-il.oo ; wing, 7.00 ; tail, 5.00, more or less.

As far as I can ascertain, it builds no nest, but lays its eggs in the hollow of a tree, usually twenty or thirty feet from the ground, or even more. Dr. Wood has described a novel site chosen by a pair at Granby, Connecticut, who attacked and killed a pair of doves, took possession of the dove-house, which was inside a barn with holes leading outward, and made themselves quite at home ; they laid four eggs, and began to incu- bate, with the evident intention of feeding on the farmer's.
