get near them. I traced this bird as far west as 
Fergus Falls, Minnesota, where I procured two 
eggs; I found its nest on tall pines, and built of 
sticks, lined with grass and sheeps’ wool. The first 
two specimens are in the Academy of Natural 
Sciences, of Philadelphia, and the third is in my 
collection—also the eggs. This bird was de- 
scribed and named by Bernard A. Hoopes, Esq. 
I obtained another very beautiful specimen in 
full plumage, from Winnebago Co., Iowa. 
Buteo Lineatus.—Fardine. 
Red-shouldered Hawk. 
It isa very common bird from Maine to Florida, 
and west to Minnesota, and I have found it breed- 
ing at all these places. I found the first nest in 
New Jersey, with two young birds and one egg, 
and the following season I found in the same nest 
four eggs, and the year after, I found three more 
eges in the same nest; but as the place became 
settled the birds did not appear afterwards. 
Buteo FPennsylvanicus.—Bonap. 
Broad-winged Hawk. 
It is as most of the preceding, very abundant 
in all parts of the country; more plenty in Autumn, 
and I found it very plenty in lowa; never found 
it breeding there, but have in New York, New 
Jersey and in the mountain regions of Pennsyl- 
vania. Nests on trees—four eggs.
