60 The Wilson Bulletin— No. 107 



Birds of prey are not very plentiful in this locality 

 and our list included only four species, as follows : 

 Sparrow Hawk Ked-tailed Hawk 



Red-shouldered Hawk Sharp-shinned Hawk 



This list was something of a disappointment since we 

 were positive that Marsh Hawks and Cooper's Hawks were 

 resident in that woods. AVe were simply unable to get a 

 glimpse of them on that particular day. We did see one 

 bird that might have been the Bald Eagle, but it was too 

 far away to make identification sure. None of our four 

 common' species of owls were to be seen that morning, which 

 was quite a keen disappointment. It was not late enough 

 in the season to look for Turkey Vultures and the Rough- 

 legged Hawks had long since gone north. These are about 

 all- the birds of prey that are ever recorded in Lake County, 

 although some of the older lists contain the names of the 

 Snowy Owl, the Barn Owl, and the Osprey. 



We had very good luck with the Conirostres, among 

 which are included the crows, jays, blackbirds, orioles, 

 sparrows, grosbeaks, and buntings. Our complete list in- 

 cluded the following: 



English Sparrow Crow 



Song Sparrow Blue Jay 



Field Sparrow Cowbird 



Chipping Sparrow Red-winged Blackbird 



Vesper Sparrow Scarlet Tanager 



Bronzed Crackle Towhee 



Orchard Oriole Cardinal 



Baltimore Oriole Rose-breasted Grosbeak 



Bobolink Indigo Bunting 



Meadowlark Goldfinch 



We were very fortunate indeed in our study of the 

 Dentirostres, among which are included the vireos, war- 

 blers, thrushes, fly-catchers, wax-Avings, etc. The warblers, 

 on account of their small size and rapid movements, made 

 us quite a lot of work following them through bushes and 

 thickets or\trying to identify them with the aid of our field 

 glasses as thev flitted through the tops of the trees. In
