The Harlan Hawk in the Cariboo District, British Columbia
The Harlan Hawk in the Cariboo District, British Columbia.-In British Columbia the Harlan Hawk (Buko kwluni) has been known as a nesting member of the avifauna of the Boreal Forest biotic area of the far north. Munro and Cowan (Brit. Columbia Prov. Mus. Spec. Publ. NO. 2. 1947:83) list only two specimen records for the southern part of the province, both of them taken during the autumn migration. It is accordingly of some interest that I have recently acquired three specimens in the general vicinity of Williams Lake, B. C., in the Cariboo Parklands biotic area. Two of these, an adult female shot near 153-Mile House and a male taken eight miles away at Williams Lake, were obtained on April 15, 1950, and April 26, 1950, respectively. The third specimen, an adult female, was taken on September 13, 1951, during the autumn hawk migration. It is noteworthy that the female taken on April 1.5 contained eggs two-thirds developed.-LEO JOBIN, WiUiams Lake, British Columbia, December 10,1951.
