“Length ten inches; bill violet; cere, irides, and legs, yellow; tail
marked with whitish bars more apparent beneath than above; under
tail-coverts and flanks brown, with two or three round white spots on
each side of the shaft; thighs ferruginous, with black shafts.
Inhabits Carolina, observed by Bosc.” (Shaw, as above.)
Probably the young of either _Hypotriorchis columbarius_ or _Accipiter
fuscus_, but quite impossible to identify from such a meagre
description.

of the Nat. Hist. of Penna., p. 11. (1799.)
“The sharp-winged hawk, of a pale sky-blue color, the top of the wings
black.” (Bartram, as above.)
This insufficient description has been supposed to be intended for the
adult of the Marsh Hawk (_Circus hudsonius_), but Barton (as above)
applies it to the _Nauclerus furcatus_. It is probably one or the other.
