Σελίδα 542 - It is rather remarkable, by the way, that the Arabic name for the bird is exactly the same as ours, the peculiar cry having supplied the name. Its habit of laying its eggs in the nests of other birds is well known, together with the curious fact, that although...
Σελίδα 514 - This bird was of a green color, almost the size of a quail, has a small tuft on its head like a pheasant, and was of the carnivorous species ; it differed from any bird we ever saw in the United States. We kept him with us in a small wicker cage, feeding him on meat, until I left the interpreter on the Arkansaw, with whom I left it. We at one time took a companion of the same species and put them in the same cage, when the first resident never ceased attacking the stranger until . he killed him.
Σελίδα 521 - Observed only at the Garden of the Gods, where many pairs were breeding, though sought for at Castle Rocks and other similar places. They breed in holes and crevices in the rocks, usually far above gunshot. They seemed very shy, and flew mostly near the tops of the highest rocks. Upon ascending the rocks most frequented by them they moved to other points, and thus managed to keep generally out of range. By spending a considerable part of two days, we procured only four specimens, though several others...
Σελίδα 502 - O'Connor who brought to Aiken a beautiful example shot by him a short distance east of Prospect Lake. He counted at that place 36 hawks within a limited area, all of the same form. This was on April 20, a bright sunny day succeeding a period of stormy weather. The hawks were sitting about on the open prairie and were engaged in catching grasshopper larvae. He could also discern another flock similarly engaged so far away that he could not determine the variety. The specimen secured is a female similar...
Σελίδα 587 - June 22, [ 1880] I found a nest five fresh eggs. The nest was sunken in the ground, on the eastern slope or border of the swamp, at the end of a partly natural archway of long dry grass, opening to the southward, beneath the low, spreading branch of a willow. It is composed of loose shreds, with a nest lining of fine stalks and a few hairs, and with a hollow two inches wide and scarcely half as deep." Setophaga ruticilla. Redstart. Rare ; not many records. Dates of arrival are May 17, 1905; May 14,...
Σελίδα 503 - ... driving on the plains with several others he saw an eagle of this species attack and kill an antelope. The bird pursued a bunch of the animals, singling out one, and when close enough struck it on the back with its talons, and while clinging there and tearing with claws and beak it at the same time beat its prey's sides with its wings. The men drove close enough to shoot the eagle, and found the antelope to be dead with its back badly torn by the bird. Aiken was also told that an eagle was seen...
Σελίδα 558 - ... Collection represents these gradations, but there is one point that has been overlooked with regard to the occurrence of these birds in El Paso County, at least, and that is psaltria alone is the breeding form, so far as at present known, the dark forms not making their appearance until later, arizona coming in July, and mexicanus the very last of July and first of August, and their actions then would indicate that they have but just arrived, nor have any dark colored birds been discovered breeding...

Σελίδα 485 - ... Colorado, and breeds in various places in the State. May 19, 1911, Warren saw 25 or 30 Wilson's Phalarones on a small pond or reservoir at a ranch about twelve mi-cs southwest of Elbert. This possibly may have been in Elbert County ; at all events it was very close to the line. Recurvirostra americana. Avocet. Migrant ; not uncommon. Aiken witnessed a curious performance of Avocets in Utah. In September, 1893, he visited the mouth of Bear River where hundreds of acres of mud flats and shallow...
