2. Sharp=shinned Hawk, Accipiter velox . Dr. W. E. 

 Rotzell found a pair nesting In a small cedar grove in 

 1889. It has not occurred as a breeder since that 

 time, it is rather uncommon as a summer resident 

 in the county, I believe. 



3. Belted King-fisher, Ceryle alcyon. I examined an oc- 

 cupied burrow in an iron ore pit, in 1894, and the birds 

 deserted the spot. It is found sparingly along all 

 streams of fair size. 



4. Whippoorwili, ^ntrostomus vociferus. Not present 

 as a breeder since 1887. Rather rare in this section 

 for a number of years. 



5. Red= winged Blackbird, i/Jgelauis phoenicens. A few 

 pairs nested in the larger swamp a number of years 

 ago when it was more open. Found commonly in 

 small colonies on either side of the ridge, in suitable 

 places. 



6. Carolina Wren, Thryothorus ludivicianus. One or 

 two present in 1898, and 1 shot a moulting female 

 early in September. Rather rare in the neighborhood. 



Present in the immediate vicinity but nesting without 

 the stated area, are several species as given below. 



1. Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias. A single bird, 



usually an immature, may frequently be found haunt- 

 ing the head waters of the Darby creek. 



2. Green Heron, Ardea virescens. A pair in Devon 

 swamp. Rather uncommon in this locality. 



3. Black=crowned Night Heron, Nycticorax nycficorax 

 ncevius. Large colony in the valley, within a few 

 miles. 



4. Bartramian Sandpiper, Bartramia longicaiida. Pres- 

 ent on either side of the ridge but rather rare. 



5. Spotted Sandpiper, Aditis macularia. Found just 

 without the tract. Not uncommon.
