Genus ARCHIBUTEO Beehm. 



155-847a-(5'2o). Archlbuteo la^opns saiieti-.joliannis (Ginel.). * American Rough- 

 legged Hawk. 



Rare; Sept. to May; Dr. Atkins reports findiog a nest in Locke, May 18. 1876, 

 which was doubtless an error; "they do not breed in the United States'" (Dr. 

 A. K. Fisher); "one specimen taken at Plymouth in fall of 1892" (J. B. Purdy); 

 "one taken by Mr. Dempel, of Hillsdale, April 7, 1802 '" (F. M. Falconer); "quite 

 common at St. Joseph, but rare at Albion" (O. B. Warren); "Mackinac Island 

 and Kent Co." (S. E. While); "Keweenaw Point" (Kneeland); "Iron Mountain 

 Oct. 20, 1892" (E. E. Brewster); "rare and only in winter in Moni'oe Co." (Jerome 

 Trombley); Prof. Ludwig Kumlein of Milton College, Wisconsin, writes me that 

 he has taken one nest in Dane Co.. Wisconsin, and one other nest in that state 

 with two young in it, but he thinks this species not a regular breeder in the 

 limits of the United States. This species is embraced in Dr. A. Sager's list of 

 1839. "Feeds almost entirely on small rodents" (Dr. A. K. Fisher). 



Genus AQUILA Bbiss.

Rare; one in our museum taken in Clinton Co. and one from Northern Mich- 

 igan; "taken occasionally in Southern Michigan, a rare straggler from the north" 

 (Dr. M. Gibbs); one taken in Kalamazoo Jan. 1, 1892 (R. F. Judson in O. and O., 

 Vol. XVII., 1892, p. 9); A. H. Boies reports it from the Upper Peninsula and 

 from Hillsdale Co.; "not common in the Gogebic region" (H. Nehrling); Jerome 

 Trombley has seen it at the mouth of the Raisin River in Monroe Co." "taken 

 in Kalamazoo Co." (Dr. M. Gibbs); probably nests in the northern part of the 

 state.
