. A history of North American birds [microform] : land birds. Birds; Ornithology; Oiseaux; Ornithologie. 86 NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS. IIab. Whole of eastern Soiilli Aiiu'ri(.'a, and Miilille America (bolli coasts) north into southern border of United States (Arizona, Bkndikk; probalily entire southern border). The numerous sijecimens exfiiiiine I come from tlio J!io Grande of Texas (across the whole breadtli of Alitkllo America) to Paraguay, everywhere tlie same species, those from the extremes of its range showing scarcely any dif- ference. A specimen of the ferruginous plumage, in the collection of the Phila- delphia Academy, is remariialile for the great intensity and uniformity of the rufous; the entire i)liunage, in fact, being of this color, a fine light tint of which replaces the white below.

It is a southern bird, found throughout the whole of Mexico, and ranges tlience though the whole of South America, except the Pacific coast, as far south as Southern lirazil. In Mexico it is as abundant on the Pacific as on the eastern coast, and is by I'ar the most common Owl of its genus found in that country. Mr. E. C. Taylor states that he found this bird pretty common in Trini- dad, where it is said to fly about in the daytime, apparently iiidin'erent to the blazing tropical sun, and is much smaller than any other species of Owl he met with.
