Birds -- Idaho
_Buteo lagopus s. johannis_ (Gmelin). American Rough-legged Hawk.
Common migrant and possibly resident. (D. A. 1301, 11 mi. SE Genessee,
Nezperce County, November 27, 1938.)
_Buteo regalis_ (Gray). Ferruginous Rough-leg. Uncommon migrant. (D. A.
1326, 4 mi. N Minidoka Power Plant, Minidoka County, January 27, 1939.)
_Aquila chrysaëtos canadensis_ (Linnaeus). Golden Eagle. Uncommon
resident. Merrill (1897:353) stated that the species occurred
"sparingly" at Fort Sherman.
_Haliaeetus leucocephalus washingtoniensis_ (Audubon). Northern Bald
Eagle. Uncommon resident in northern Idaho, Merrill (1897:353) stated
that a few pairs bred about Lake Coeur d'Alene.
_Circus cyaneus hudsonius_ (Linnaeus). Marsh Hawk. Very common
resident. (D. A. 1371, Havenor's, 7 mi. NW Pocatello, Power County,
April 1, 1939.)
_Pandion haliaetus carolinensis_ (Gmelin). Osprey. Uncommon resident.
Merrill (1897:353) reported the bird as frequent in the summer at Fort
Sherman.
_Falco mexicanus_ Schlegel. Prairie Falcon. Fairly common resident. (D.
A. 1319, American Falls, Bingham County, January 16, 1939.)
_Falco peregrinus anatum_ Bonaparte. Duck Hawk. Uncommon resident. Bond
(1946:104) lists this bird as a rare breeder in Idaho.
_Falco columbarius bendirei_ Swann. Western Pigeon Hawk. Rust
(1915:124) records one specimen from Coeur d'Alene as subspecies
_columbarius_; although the skin has not been checked by me, it would
seem to be more likely of subspecies _bendirei_, corresponding to
others taken in northern Idaho.
_Falco sparverius sparverius_ Linnaeus. Eastern Sparrow Hawk. Common
resident. (D. A. 1267, Little Bear Ridge, 5 mi. SW Troy, Latah County,
November 2, 1939.)
_Dendragapus obscurus_ (Say). Blue Grouse. Common resident.
a. _obscurus_ (Say). Dusky Grouse. Specimens from
southeastern Idaho are referable to this race.
b. _richardsonii_ (Douglas). Richardson Grouse. This is the
resident race of southwestern Idaho north to Idaho County,
where intergradation occurs with the next form. (D. A. 1431,
1432, 10 mi. SW Riggins, Idaho County, May 14, 1939.)
c. _pallidus_ Swarth. Oregon Dusky Grouse. Birds in the
northern portion of the state are of this race.
_Canachites franklinii_ (Douglas). Franklin Grouse. Uncommon resident.
I have observed the birds in the Selway National Forest, in Idaho
County, and specimens have been taken in Bonner County. (D. A. 1336,
1337, 6 mi. S Coolin, Bonner County, February 19, 1939.)
_Bonasa umbellus_ (Linnaeus). Ruffed Grouse. Common resident. See
Aldrich and Friedman (1943) for ranges of the following races.
a. _phaia_ Aldrich and Friedmann. Idaho Ruffed Grouse. This
is the race resident in southwestern Idaho, and it
intergrades with the two following forms.
b. _umbelloides_ (Douglas). Gray Ruffed Grouse. Resident in
northern Idaho.
c. _incanus_ Aldrich and Friedmann. Hoary Ruffed Grouse.
Resident in southeastern Idaho.
