D ih« ly 86- The inged. or SIX. larger re eggs Id and to the being Dist.â yonrn ^^^H^flr^N ninnft. 227 This beautiful bird, known as the Femoral Falcon, Is common, and has a wide range Id South and Central America; and specimens of the bird, its nests and eggs have been taken In Southern Texas, along the banks of the Rio Grande, and in Arizona. Dr. James C. Merrill found nests of this species on June 16, 1877, and May 7, 1878, near Fort Brown, Texas; they were placed on the tops of the low Span- ish bayonet, and were simply slight platforms of twigs with depressions, lined with. 359. Aplomaoo Falcon. a little grass. Two nests contained three eggs each. The eggs mearure 1.78x1.34, 1.84x1.29, 1.73x1.32. Their ground color is white, but so thickly dotted with reddish as to appear of that color; over these are somewhat heavier markings of deeper shades of brown. The three others measure 1.80x1.29, 1.77x1.33, 1.88x1.33. [359. 1.] KESTREL. Fulcn liiniuiiiuliis Linn. Geog. Dist.âEurope, etc., ac- cidental in Massachusetts. Mr. Charles B. Cory, of Boston, Massachusetts, mak«s record of the first oc- currence of- this bird in North America. A female specimen was shot by a hunter at Strawberry Hill, Nantasket Beach, Massachusetts, on September 29, 1887, the skin of which is now In Mr. Cory's cabinet.* The European Kestrel thus finds a place in the avifauna of North America. It is a common species in Europe, and one of the most abundant of its tribe in Great Britain. It resembles the American Sparrow Hawk in size and general appearance, and, like that bird, it has the curious habit of poising In midair over a mouse, lizard, frog, or some other object of food before attacking them. In Great Britain It is one of the commonest Falcons, and may be found in all parts of the country. The nest is built in rocky cliffs by the sea coast, I If la â :, , ' ' â Mi'' » Auk, V. no a
