Migration Records of Kansas Birds 14.'> 



Kansas examples of lincotus prove referable to B. I. texanus? 

 360. Falco sparverius — Sparrow Hawk. 



" Year-round resident." Has the University of Kansas any 

 proof of the wintral occurrence of the Sparrow Hawk, within our 

 borders? 



366 and 367. Asio wilsonianns and A. flammcus — Long-eared and 

 Short-earod Owls. 



"Common summer resident (s)." Save in Coffey county the 

 Short-ear I have found extremely rare; while the Long-eared Owl 

 I have never seen, within the state. 

 368. Strix varia — Barred Owl. 



" Common resident." Really, very rare, northeasterly. 

 378. S>prot}ft() ciiniciilaria hypogara — Burrowing Owl. 



" Common resident — central and western Kansas." Not un- 

 common, northeasterly, breeding. 

 402a. Sphi/rapicus varius nuchalis — Red-naped Sapsucker. 



"A rare migrant." Very doubtful. If so, to any extent, it 

 must be in the extreme western part of the state. 

 413. Colaptes cafer collaris — Red-shafted Flicker. 



"A rare resident in eastern Kansas." Not resident, at all; but 

 rather an irregular wintral visitant. May occur, as breeder, in 

 the extreme western portion of Kansas. 

 417. AntrostoniKS vocifcrus — ^Whip-poor-will. 



" Common all summer." If so, WHERE? I have never seen 

 nor heard it, in Kansas. 

 420c. Chordriles virgimanus scnnetti — Sennett Night Hawk. 



" Not uncommon in summer; one record, Lawrence." Patrick 

 Floyd took a typical specimen, thirty years ago, in Coffey county. 

 466 and 466a. Empidonaccs frailli and t. alnorxim — Traill and Al- 

 der Flycatchers. 



It is extremely doubtful if trailli occurs in Kansas. Alnorum 

 is the form that occurs (rarely) in Marshall county, in Concordia, 

 and probably Coffey county. (In the latter region, the Alder 

 Flycatcher is common.) 

 474b. Otocoris alpestris " protacola" — (lege, praticola) — Prairie 



Horned Lark. 

 474c. 0. a. leucolaema — Desert Horned Lark. 



" Permanent resident, western part of the state." It is of great 

 interest to learn of this fact. I used to find leucolaema abundant 

 in northeast Wyoming; mingled, in winter, with Mr. Oberholser's 

 (unaccepted) rnthymia. 

 475. Pica pica hndsonica (Black-billed) Magpie. 



" Rare winter resident." I wish to record, here, the aston- 

 ishing extension, easterly, of the range of the Magpie Into Benson 

 county. North Dakota: Last June, friends observed a specimen,
