*Elanoides forficatus (Linnaeus) —SwaLLOW-TAILED KITE. 
A regular visitor in eastern third of the state; not common. Omaha, 
West Point, Tekamah, Fullerton, Beatrice, Falls City; breeding at 
Greenwood, Rockport, and Calhoun. 
Elanus leucurus (Vieillot) WHITE-TAILED KITE. 
The record given in Bruner’s Notes on Nebraska Bade of the 
occurrence of this species is an error. But its range is such as to make 
it possible that it may be taken in the state.] 
Ictinia mississippiensis (Wilson)—Mississtppr KIrTe. 
While the known range of this kite would bring it within our borders, 
the record by R. E. Dinges as given in Bruner’s Notes on Nebraska 
Birds is very likely an error.] 
*Circus hudsonius (Linnaeus)—Marsu Hawk. 
Found over the entire state, common. In part resident—a few 
remaining throughout winter. Breeds on low ground, more com- 
monly in the sand-hills and northwestward.
