Bubo inrginianus z'irginianus. Great Horned Owl. — Not a 

 rare resident of the wooded dunes and Warren Woods. An 

 adult male was taken near Birchwood Beach May 11. 1918, 

 and young able to fly were found May 15, 1918, at Warren 

 Woods. Several were seen after April 29, 1920, in'the wooded 

 ravines of Warren Dunes, where they nested. 



Coccyzus a^nericanus americanus. Yellow-billed Cuckoo. — 

 A common summer resident of the woods and thickets along 

 the dunes. It was seen at Birchwood Beach May 17, 1918; 

 at Warren Woods May 22, 1919; and at Warren Dunes May 

 19, 1920. The cuckoos are more often heard than seen, due 

 to their shyness as well as to the fact that they arrive when 

 the trees are almost full of foliage. 



Coccyzus crythroplithalnms . Black-billed Cuckoo. — This is 

 also a common summer resident of the same habitat as the 

 preceding species. It was noted May 19, 1918, at Birchwood 

 Beach; at Warren Woods May 16, 1919; and May 19, 1920, 

 at Warren Dunes. 



Ceryle alcyon alcyon. Belted Kingfisher. — A rather common 

 summer resident. After April 29, 1918, it fished at Birchwood 

 Beach in Lake Michigan and in Willow Brook. At Warren 

 Woods it was seen along the Galien River May 10 and later. 

 It also occurred occasionally about the ponds at Warren Dunes 

 and along the lake shore. 



Dryobates villosus villosus. Hairy Woodpecker. — A rare 

 resident of the dunes, but more common at Warren Woods, 

 where it was first noted May 7, 1919. In 1920 a nest was 

 found in a large sycamore at the edge of the Galien River 

 May 19 ; and at Warren Dunes it was observed May 20, and 

 occasionally after this. 



Dryobates pubescens medmnus. Downy Woodpecker. — This 

 resident species is more common than the preceding one. and
