Abstract

The egg collection at the Slater Museum of Natural History, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington, contains a set (PSM 13196) of three eggs of the Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), collected on 7 May 1937 at an elevation of 5,000 feet in the Cuyamaca Mountains, San Diego County, California, by E. E. Sechrist. These specimens document a significant southerly extension of the known historical breeding range of this species along the Pacific Coast.
