 along the river and on the lalies.

 on the marshy shore of Lake Hicopochee March 6th. 



28. Oxyeclius rociferus. Killdeer. A few were noted at var- 

 ious points alons the river and in the Everglades. 



29. Colintts virginiamis floridanus. Florida Bob-white. On the

 everywhere. Great numbers of this and the following species gather 

 at the fishing camps on Okeechobee to feast upon the odorous 

 refuse. 



33. CatJiarista xiriihu. Black Vulture. About equally abundant 

 with the preceding species. We stopped to inspect a " buzzard

 Quite a number of the birds were sitting about in the palmettoes 

 and the roost showed evidence of considerable usage.

 in the Everglades, but they are no longer to be found commonly. 



35. Elamis leucurvs. White-tailed Kite. Observed only once. 

 A bird flew over the canal as we were approaching Lake Hicopochee 

 on the evening of the 5th. 



36. Rostrhaiiiiis soci(ill)iIi><. Everglade Kite. A few were seen in 

 the vicinity of Lake Hicopochee, but like the Swallow-tails they 

 are no longer so common as formerly. 



37. Circus hiidsomus. Marsh Hawk. One bird was seen near 

 Lake Hicopochee March 6th.

 Lake Okeechobee, March 9th. 



40. Bnteo lineatus allcni. Florida Red-shouldered Hawk. Abun- 

 dant. The characteristic hawk of this region. Nesting was be- 

 ginning and the birds were very noisy.
