121. 329. Ictinia mississippiensis (Wils.) Mississippi Kite. A summer resi- 
dent in southwest Kansas. Rare in the other parts of the state. Breeds in the 
lower austral zone. Occurs casually further north; south to Central America. 
Found breeding on the Medicine river, in Barber county, by Colonel Goss, in the 
spring of 1887. Snow, 1872, on authority of Baird. 
122. 331. Circus hudsonius (Linn.) Marsh Hawk. A common resident. 
Probably the most abundant as well as the most useful of our hawks. Inhabits 
the whole of North America. South in winter to Panama. Breeds from the 
lower austral zone northward to the arctic zone. Maximilian, 1839. 
123. 332. Accipiter velox (Wils.) Sharp-shinned Hawk. A rare winter so- 
journer; common in migration. Not positively known to breed in this state, al- 
though they have been found nesting in Texas. Breed chiefly in the transition 
zone and northward. South in winter to Panama. Snow, 1872. 
124. 333. Accipiter cooperi (Bonap.) Cooper’s Hawk. Resident; common 
in summer and found in winter. Range over all of temperate North America, 
wintering southward to southern Mexico. Breed in most of the wooded parts of 
the United States. Snow, 1872. 
125. 334. Accipiter atricapillus (Wils.) American Goshawk. A rare winter 
visitant. Belongs to northern and eastern North America; west to the Rocky 
mountains. Breeds in the Canadian and Hudsonian zones. Snow, 1872. 
126. 337. Buteo borealis (Gmel.) Red-tailed Hawk. A common resident. 
Belongs to eastern North America, extending westward to the plains. A bene- 
ficial hawk, as are all the Buteos. Abert, 1848. 
127. 337a. Buteo borealis kriderii (Hoopes). Krider’s Hawk. Probably a 
resident in western Kansas; rare. A bird of the plains, ranging from southern 
Texas to Minnesota. First taken in Kansas, near Wallace, October 12, 1883, by 
Colonel Goss, who reported it in the Auk, vol. 1, 1884, p. 100. 
128. 337b. Buteo borealis calurus (Cass.) Western Red-tail. An irregular 
winter sojourner; usually rather common. Belongs to western North America, 
ranging eastward into Kansas and Missouri during the winter. Snow, 1872. 
129. 337d. Buteo borealis harlani (Aud.) Harlan’s Hawk. A rare visitant. 
There are specimens in the university museum and the Goss collection taken in 
the state. It has been captured at Manhattan, Lawrence, and Neosho Falls. Is 
probably more common than has been supposed, since it cannot easily be dis- 
tinguished from the western red-tail and the rough-legged hawks when seen at 
a distance. Snow, 1872. 
130. 339. Buteo lineatus (Gmel.) Red shouldered Hawk. A common resi- 
dent in the eastern counties of the state. Ranges over eastern North America, 
from the Gulf to Nova Scotia, and westward to the edge of the plains. Snow, 1872. 
131. 342. Buteoswainsoni(Bonap.) Swainson’s Hawk. Resident; very rare 
in the eastern part of the state, not uncommon in middle Kansas, and common 
further west. A bird of western North America which sometimes ranges east- 
ward to Illinois and Wisconsin. It occurs north to the limits of forests and south 
to the Argentine Republic. Snow, 1872. 
132. 343. Buteo latissimus (Wils.) Broad-winged Hawk. A rare summer 
resident in eastern Kansas. Belongs to eastern North America, ranging north to 
Quebec and Manitoba, west to the edge of the plains, and south in winter nearly 
to the equator. Snow, 1872.
