10.. Ardea virescens (Linn.) Green Heron. 
An abundant summer resident; arrives about April 15 and begins to nest in 
the early part of May. 
‘11. Porzana carolina (Linn.) Sora. 
I have observed two individuals of this species here, on April 11 and 20. It 
is probable, however, that it may have been the same individual, as the second 
one seen was observed at the same spot where the first had been seen. 
12. Philohela minor (Gmel.) American Woodcock. 
Not very common, but occasionally noted during the migrations. 
13. Gallinago delicata (Ord.) Wilson’s Snipe. 
A rather common migrant; arrives during the latter part of March. 
14. Totanus solitarius (Wils.) Solitary Sandpiper. 
A moderately common bird during the migrations; arrives generally during 
the latter part of April. 
15. Actitis macularia (Linn.) Spotted Sandpiper. 
A common summer resident. Especially abundant during the latter part of 
the summer and early fall, at which time those mostly seen are birds of the year. 
16. Agialitis vocifera (Linn.) Killdeer. 
A common summer resident, arriving very early in the spring, generally 
about the first of March. 
17. Colinus virginianus (Linn.) Bobwhite. 
A moderately common resident, though growing alarmingly scarce for the 
last year or two, and it would seem inevitable that unless legislation shall provide 
other measures for its protection it will ere long become well nigh extirpated in 
many localities. 
18. Zenaidura macroura (Linn.) Mourning Dove. 
An abundant bird and irregularly migratory. 
19. Cathartes aura (Linn.) Turkey Vulture. 
An abundant bird; irregularly retiring southward on the approach of winter 
and reappearing about the middle of March. 
20.  Accipiter velox (Wils.) Sharp-shinned Hawk. 
A moderately common hawk, and one of the few that are an unmitigated 
nuisance, preying almost exclusively upon birds and poultry. 
21.  Accipiter cooperi (Bonap.) Cooper’s Hawk. 
A moderately common hawk in this vicinity.
