In Vigo County, a nest with 2 eggs, one fresh, the other nearly so, about 
30 feet up in hollow of a leaning sycamore on the bank of Honey Creek 
south of Terre Haute, April 21, 1890; noted also March 30, 1888, and March 
31, 1889. 
In Carroll County, a nest with two fresh eggs in a hollow sycamore on 
Bachelor Run southwest of Camden, April 29, 1888; another set of two 
fresh eggs from same nest April 23, 1884. First noted in 1884, on March 16, 
when one was seen hear Burlington. First noted in 1885 on March 12, when 
one was seen north of Pittsburg; another two days later west of Camden. 
74. JELANOIDES FORFICATUS (Linnzeus). SWALLOW-TAILED KITE. (327) 
The Swallow-tailed Kite is a very rare bird in Indiana. My only records 
are of a male in fine plumage shot on Beanblossom Creek north of Bloom- 
ington by a Mr. Weimar, August 18, 1885, and another seen at same time. 
One obtained in Vigo County in the fall of 1887. No record for Carroll 
County. So far as I know these are the only specimens taken in or reported 
from this part of the state. 
75. Circus HUDSONIUS (Linnzeus). MARSH HAWK. (351) 
Probably rare summer resident in all the counties. Unfortunately, I have 
no definite records for Monroe County. In Vigo County, I saw it often, par- 
ticularly over the marshes about the Five-mile Pond north of Terre Haute. 
I do not think any remain through the winter. 
In Carroll County, I have seen it but rarely and only in the spring. It 
probably breeds in the county, however, in suitable places. 
76. ACCIPITER VELOX (Wilson). SHARP-SHINNED HAWK. (332) 
Rather rare resident; seen oftenest in the spring. A fine male brought 
us at Camden, October 27, 1884, by Mr. Walter Clark. One seen near 
Yelpingville schoolhouse, Washington Township, February 22, 1885; day 
cold, snow deep. I have no definite records for Vigo, though I doubt not 
it breeds there in limited numbers. My only record for Monroe County is 
one seen on the campus at Bloomington, February 10, 18838. It is doubtless 
not rare in this county. 
77. ACCIPITER COOPERIT (Bonaparte). COOPER'S HAWK. (3383) 
Resident, perhaps more common than the preceding. 
Carroll County: March 5, 1879, one noted near Camden, and one caught 
next day in a steel trap. A nest with three fresh eggs found May 10, 1883, 
in a beech tree on J. M. Beck’s farm near Burlington. Other Carroll County 
records are: January 12, 1884, one seen near Camden; January 31, another 
seen near Delphi; September 17, one brought us at Camden by Mrs. Walter 
Clark; Mareh 13, 1885, one seen in Tippecanoe Township; March 18, one 
seen on Deer Creek near Camden. 
Vigo County: March 31, 1888, one noted. A fine set of five fresh eggs 
near Coal Creek, nine miles northwest of Terre Haute, May, 1890. The nest
