80 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1898. 



12. Circus hudsonius. Marsh Hawk. 



The county is seemingly far too hilly and mountainous to suit the 

 habits of this hawk, but nevertheless a pair has been seen regularly 

 during June and July for several years past on a small marshy 

 meadow surrounding Elk Lake, and doubtless breeds there. 



13. Accipiter velox. Sharp-shinned Hawk. 



Rather common, being frequently met with during the breeding 



season. 



14. Accipiter cooperi. Cooper's Hawk. 



Rare and much less common than the preceding. 



15. Buteo borealis. Red-tailed Hawk. 



Decidedly the most abundant hawk in the county, a few being 

 seen almost daily. 



16. Buteo lineatus. Red-shouldered Hawk. 



Probably ranks next to B. borealis in abundance. 



17. Falco sparverius. Sparrow Hawk. 



Rather common. 



[18. Syrnium nebulosum. Barred Owl. 



The only record which I have of the occurrence of this owl in 

 summer time is an adult male shot by a friend during the latter part 

 of August, 1897. It may doubtless be regarded as a rare perma- 

 nent resident]. 



19. Megascops asio. Screech Owl. 



Common resident. 



20. Bubo virginianus. Great-horned Owl. 



Tolerably common resident in the deeper forests throughout the 

 county. 



21. Coccyzus erytbropbthalmus. Black-billed Cuckoo. 

 Not uncommon, during the breeding season. 



22. Ceryle alcyon. Belted Kingfisher. 



Tolerably common along the banks of ponds and streams, being 

 especially abundant at Silver Lake in the northwestern part of the 

 county. 



23. Dryobates villosus. Hairy Woodpecker. 

 Common throughout the wooded portions.
