most of the larger woods in the district. Dates range from 

 April 11th (1908) to November 1st (1908). 



98. Buteo lineatus, Red-shouldered Hawk. Of about the 

 same degree of frequency as the Red-tailed. Dates : from March 

 28th (1909) to November 6th (1907). 



99. Buteo platypterus, Broad-winged Hawk. A moderately 

 common summer resident. This useful hawk is smaller than the 

 two last named and rather unsuspicious. On June 1st, 1907, 

 while on an excursion of the Club to Chelsea, a section of the 

 party found a dead one in the woods there. On May 8th, 1909, 

 one was'taken at the Rifle Range, and on October 16th, 1908, a 

 bird of the year. This is the latest date for the year on record, 

 the first being April 23rd (1908).

 Hawk. This large, useful buzzard is a rare migrant. Dates are: 

 March 16th, 1898, and November 1st, 1908. Probably commoner 

 in migration than supposed. 



101. Aquila chrysaetos, Golden Eagle. This majestic bird 

 is'a rare accidental visitor. It breeds sparingly in the Laurentian 

 Hills north of us, and may do so near the northern limits of our 

 district. A young one, but fully grown, was caught in a trap 

 at High Falls, Quebec, on November 22nd, 1904, and given to 

 the writer. The local taxidermist now and then gets a specimen, 

 shot not far up the Gatineau, and Mr. E. Bedard reports one 

 flying about, over the Rifle Range, for several days in January, 

 1910. 



102. Haliceetus leucocephalus , Bald Eagle. A rare accidental 

 visitor and possibly a rare breeder. There was a nest formerly 

 at Lake Wilson, near Wakefield. One was shot October 28th, 

 1892.
