1917] The Ottawa Naturalist 125 



present were observed or heard but not distinctly enough for 



unmistakable identification. I hope to renew observations in 



the same region this coming June. 

 None of the following birds were seen or heard : 



Whip-poor-will, Antrostomus vociferns Wils. 



Chimney Swift, Chaetura pelagica Linn. 



Barred Owl, Strix varia Barton. 



Goldfinch, Astragalinus tristis Linn. 



Catbird, Dumetetta carolinensis Linn. 



Brown Creeper, Certhia familiaris americana Bonap. 



Chickadee, Penthestes atricapillus Linn. 



Yeery, Hylocichla fuscescens Steph. 

 Birds Observed in Algonquin Park, Ontario, June 2-19, 1908-14. 

 Loon, Gavin immer Brunn. ; abundant; nests often, once June 10, 1911, 



at Tea Lake; young not out by June 19 of any of above years. 

 Herring Gull, Larus argentatus Pont.; abundant; nests often, usually 



on little rocky islets; young June 13, 1914. 

 Common Tern, Sterna hirundo Linn.; one seen on Lake Opeongo; 



seen at fairly close range, grayish underparts clearly observed. 

 Black Duck, Anas rubripes Brewst. ; common; nests several times. 

 Bittern, Botaurus lentiginosus Montag. ; not common. 

 Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias herodias Linn.; common; heronry 



observed at Magnetewan Lake, 12 nests in 4 tall pines, prob- 

 ably 30-50 feet above ground; there are said to be other heron- 

 ries near Potter Lake and on Maggie's Lake. 

 Spotted Sandpiper, Artitis macularia Linn.; common; nests; young 



observed June 19, 1914. 

 Canada Spruce Partridge, Canachites canadensis canace Linn. ; fairly 



common; young seen June 11, 1913, near Phillips Lake. 

 Canada Ruffed Grouse, Bonasa umbellus (presumably togata) Linn.; 



common. 

 Broad-winged Hawk, Buteo platypterus Vieill.; common. 

 Bald Eagle, Haliacius leucocephalus Linn.; distinctly seen at close 



range at Clear Lake. 

 Sparrow Hawk, Falco sparverius sparverius Linn. ; fairly common. 

 Osprey, Pandion haliaetus carolinensis Gmel.; common; nests seen 



several times, always in large dead trees, at top about 40 feet 



from ground. 

 Barred Owl, Strix varia varia Barton; abundant. 

 Saw-whet Owl, Crypt oglaux acadica acadica Gmel.; fairly common; 



not seen but heard at times; identification rests partly on guide 



who without any suggestive questions on my part told me he 



had the previous year searched for, caught and learned the 



name of bird; we heard the oft repeated sort of whistle quite 



distinctly on several occasions.
