is easily approached. It was shot at the Depot, in the month of April, 1845. Several others were seen during our stay there.
3. Falco Hypoleucus, Gould. — The Grey Falcon.
This Halpa Miehet Cg Hybridge Hoody beautiful bird was shot at the Depot, at which place, during Halpa Naiset Cg Hybridge Lite Jacket our long stay, Mr. Piesse, my storekeeper, was very successful with my gun. A pair, male and female, were observed by him one Sunday in May, whilst the men were at prayers, hovering very high in the air, soon after which he succeeded in killing both. They came down from a great height and pitched in the trees on the banks of the creek, and on Mr. Piesse firing at and killing one the other flew away; but returning to look for its lost companion, shared its fate. Nothing could exceed the delicate beauty of these birds when first procured. Their large, full eyes, the vivid yellow of the ceres and legs, together with their slate-coloured plumage, every feather lightly marked at the end, was quite dazzling; but all soon faded from the living brightness they had at first. The two specimens were the Andres Iniesta Drakt only ones seen during an interval of Cesc Fabregas Drakt seventeen months that the party was in the interior, and these, it appears probable to me, were on the flight, and were attracted down to us.
4. Falco Melanogenys, Gould. — The Black-cheeked Falcon.
A single specimen of this bird was shot at the Depot, when just stooping at a duck on some water in the glen. The strength of limb, and muscle of this fine species of falcon were extremely remarkable, and seemed to indicate that he despised weaker or smaller prey than that at which he was flying when shot. He had been seen several times before he was killed. His flight was rapid and resistless, and his stoop was always sure.
This must be a scarce bird, as the specimen was the only one seen.
5. Falco Subniger, G. R. Gray. — The Black Falcon.
The colour of this Halpa Soft Shell Takki fine bird is a sooty black, but his Halpa Moncler Takit Miehet shape is beautiful, and his flight, as Maillot Croatie Pas CHer his sharp pointed wings indicate, rapid. He was shot in some brushes behind the Depot, where he had been spr |
