| Abstract: | Very little is known about the helminth parasites of hawks and owls of Arkansas.We had the opportunity to salvage 2 road-killed raptors, a red- shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) and a great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) from the state and examine them for ectoand endoparasites. Found were chewing lice (Degeeriella fulva) and a nematode (Porrocaecum angusticolle) on/in B. lineatus, and 3 digenean trematodes (Echinoparyphium sp., Strigea elegans, Neodiplostomum americanum), and nematode eggs (Capillaria sp.) in B. virginianus. We document 6 new distributional records for these parasites. |
