Spreadborough ! 342. Swainbon's Hawk — Buteo swainsonii (Bonap.). On the 18th of June, 1885, a hawk of this species was shot near Fort Chipewyan, Athabasca, and it was duly for- warded to Dr. Bell. It has been met with at Great Slave Lake, while in July, 1860, we discovered a nest thereof whidi was built on a spruce tree along the banks of the Onion River, an important tributary of the Lockhart River, while the latter is the principal affluent of the Anderson River. It contained two well-grown ...young. Both parents were seen and the male was shot. They certainly made a great ado in endeavouring to protect their offspring. In June, 1865, another nest was found in the top crotch of a tall spruce pine in a ravine some twenty miles south-east of Fort Anderson. It contained but one egg, the contents of which were found in a well-developed stage of incubation. Mr. Raine states that this is a most useful bird to the farmer, as it devours an immense nimiber of gophers and mice. Bendire states that ^^ inculmtion lasts about twenty- eight days, both sexes assisting, and the eggs, from three to four, are deposited at intervals of about two days.
