o'-war birds, Florida yellow-throat, laughing gull, royal terns, least tern, Cabot's tern, 

 ruddy turnstone, and oyster-catcher. On Long Key the least tern, Cabot's tern, royal tern, 

 laughing gull, man-o'-war birds, brown pehcans. Ward's heron, Florida yellow-throat, 

 ruddy turnstone, and o.yster-catcher were observed. 



On another trip through Loggerhead Key I found two bunches of feathers, one belonging 

 to a summer tanager and the other a yellow-bil'ed cuckoo; at aunset we saw an osprey and 

 a duck hawk, the latter evidently intending to roost for the night on one of the dead flower- 

 ing stalks of a clump of agaves. This is the first time that I have seen this bird in this 

 region. The following had struck on the hghthouse since my last visit to this island and had 

 been preserved in the alcohol tank: blue-winged teal, male, Feb. 26, 1919; prairie warbler, 

 Mar. 19, 1919; Wilson's snipe. Mar. 26, 1919; Wilson's Snipe, two prairie warblers, 

 and yellow palm warbler. Mar. 27, 1819; oven bird and Florida yellow-throat, black- 

 throated blue warbler, and prairie warbler, May 2, 1919. 



May 18. — I saw the following birds on Long Key: Ward's heron, laughing gull, royal 

 tern, man-o'-war birds, and brown peUcan. I again saw the duck hawk which passed 

 me at less than 35 feet distance several times today, also an osprey on Loggerhead Key. 

 We have come to the conclusion that a little sparrow hawk is responsible for the erratic 

 distribution of cerions in the vicinity. 



May 19.— Few birds were seen between the Tortugas and Key West. The list included 

 some brown pelicans, man-o'-war birds, royal terns, an occasional blue-faced booby, and 

 laughing gull.
