Holmes, on Birds of Summit, N. J. 23 



Falco columbarius. — Pigeon Hawk. 



Falco spar-verius. — American Sparrow Hawk. A not uncommon sum- 

 mer resident next to B. lineatus in point of numbers. 



Pandion haliaetus carolinensis. — American Osprey. Common migrant. 



Strix pratincola. — American Barn Owl. An extremely rare summer 

 resident. I know of but one nest having been found. I also have a 

 record of five young birds, not fully fledged, having been caught in a ' 

 trap set in a pasture for hawks. 



Asio luilsonianus. — American Long-eared Owl. Rather common at 

 times, rare summer resident. About 35 seen in 1905. 



Asio accipitrinus. — Short-eared Owl. Rare. 



Syrnium •varium. — Barred Owl. Formerly a rather common resident, 

 but now rapidly disappearing. 



Megascops asio. — Screech Owl. A not uncommon resident, but rapidly 

 decreasing in numbers. 



Bubo virginianus. — Great Horned Owl. Never common but now al- 

 most entirely exterminated from this localitj-. I doubt that a pair breeds 

 within twelve miles of Summit. It has, however, been captured in early 

 winter — December and Januarj- — in steel traps set on posts in the 

 meadows near Summit, within the last two years, and it may still breed 

 in the wilder portions of the country. 



Cryptoglaux acadica. — Saw-whet OwL 



Nyctea nyctea. — Snowy Owl. 



Coccyzus americamis. — Yellow-billed Cuckoo. A common summer 

 resident ; more abundant some years than others.

 summer resident and as erratic as the preceding species. 



Ceryle alcyon. — Belted Kingfisher. Rather common summer resident, 

 nesting in all suitable localities. 



Dryobates villosus. — Hairy Woodpecker. Less common than the next 

 species. 



Dryobates pubescens medianus. — Downy Woodpecker. A common 

 resident. 



Melanerpes erythrocephalus. — Red-headed Woodpecker. Locally com- 

 mon. 



Colaptes auratus liiteus. — Northern Flicker. The most common breeding 

 woodpecker. 



Antrostomus vociterus. — Whip-poor-will. Formerly a common summer 

 resident. Heard several times the last of April and the first of May, 1906.
