133. 347a. Archibuteo lagopus sanctijohannis (Gmel.) American Rough- 
legged Hawk. A common winter sojourner. Inhabits the whole of North Amer- 
ica north of Mexico, but breeds chiefly north of the United States. Snow, 1872. 
134, 348. Archibuteo ferrugineus (Licht.) Ferruginous Rough-leg. Resi- 
dent; rather common in western Kansas, rare in the eastern part. Inhabits 
western North America, north to the Saskatchewan and south to Mexico; east 
to Iowa and Texas. Snow, 1875. Taken by Doctor Watson at Ellis, July, 1875. 
Colonel Goss found them breeding near Wallace, May 27, 1883. 
135. 349. Aquila chrysaétus (Linn.) Golden Eagle. A very rare resident; 
rather common as a winter sojourner. Occurs throughout the northern parts of 
the northern hemisphere; south on this continent to Mexico. Breeds mainly in 
the mountains. Maximilian, 1839. 
136. 352. Haliaetus leucocephalus (Linn.) Bald Eagle. A rare resident; 
rather common in the winter. Inhabits all of North America, including Green- 
land and the Aleutian is!ands. Formerly its nests were not uncommon in Kansas. 
Say, 1823. 
137. 354. Falco rusticolus (Linn.) Gray Gyrfalcon. An accidental winter 
visitor. A birdof the farnorth. The only specimen known from Kansas was taken 
near Manhattan, December 1, 1880, by Mr. A. L. Runyan. Reported by Doctor 
C. P. Blachly in Transactions Academy of Science, vol. VII, 1881, p. 105. 
138. 355. Falco mexicanus (Schl.) Prairie Falcon. A rare resident; 
more frequent in the western part of the state. A western species which ranges 
east to the plains, casually to Illinois, and south into Mexico. Snow, 1872. 
139. 356. Falco peregrinus anatum (Bonap.) Duck Hawk. Resident; not 
common. Its breeding range includes mainly the upper austral, transition, and 
Canadian zones. In winter it passes southward, even to southern South America. 
The birds noticed in Kansas during the winter are probably from the far north, 
and not the individuals that breed here. Allen found it nesting in Kansas. 
American Naturalist, vol. VI. Snow, 1872. 
140. 357. Falco columbarius (Linn.) Pigeon Hawk. An uncommon mi- 
grant and winter sojourner. Colonel Goss shot a specimen at Neosho Falls as

British America, but found nesting in many localities within the United States.

equator. Snow, 1872. 
141. 358. Faico richardsonii (Ridgw.) Richardson’s Merlin. Rare in east-

More common in the interior. Snow, 1872, on authority of Baird. 
142. 360. Falco sparverius (Linn.) American Sparrow Hawk. An abun- 
dant resident. Inhabits the whole of temperate North America, ranging south 
in winter to northern South America. The winter specimens in Kansas are 
probably birds that breed far to the north. Snow, 1872. 
143. 364. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis (Gmel.) American Osprey. Sum- 
mer resident; not common. Ranges North America in the breeding season from 
the lower austral zone to the edge of the arctic zone, south to South America 
in winter. Snow, 1872.
