32. Hclodrouias solitarius solitarius (Wilson). Solitary 

 Sandpiper. — First observed on May 25. Adults with young 

 of the year were on Whitefish Lake on July 11. Although the 

 species has never been known to nest in Michigan, this record 

 seems to indicate such a possibility. At least a journey of a 

 hundred miles seems a difficult flight for such young birds. 



33. Actitis macnlaria (Linn.). Spotted Sandpiper. — A 

 pair of these sandpipers evidently nested in the region as they 

 were seen daily. An adult with three newly hatched young 

 was observed at Onota on June 25. 



34. Oxyechus vocifcrus (Linn.). Killdeer. — An adult and 

 three young were recorded at Onota on June 25 and another 

 pair on June 26 at the big marsh north of Peter White Camp. 



35. Canachitcs canadensis canace (Linn.). Canada Spruce 

 Grouse. — Rarely observed. (Shiras.) 



36. Bonasa ninhellus togata (Linn.). Canada Ruffed 

 Grouse. — Two broods of young were recorded on July 14 but 

 the species was not common. This may have been due to the 

 scarcity of food in the region. 



37. Accipiter vclox (Wilson). Sharp-shinned Hawk. — 

 Evidently rare as it was observed but twice during the sum- 

 mer of 1916. 



38. Accipiter coopcri (Bonap.). Cooper's Hawk. — A rare 

 resident. Recorded on May 31, June 9 and June 22. 



39. Buteo borealis borealis (Gmel.). Red-tailed Hawk. — 

 Observed on July 13 and 14 at the south end of Whitefish 

 Lake and on July 21 at Silver Lake. 



40. Astur atricapillns atricapillus (Wilson). Goshawk. — 

 Common during spring and fall migrations. (Shiras.) Re- 

 corded on May 28 near Peter White Camp.
