400 Pangburn, Birds of Pinellas County, Fla. [July 



56. Ochthodromus wilsonius. Wilson's Plover. — A common 

 species seen with almost every flock of shore birds. Last seen on March 25. 



57. Arenaria interpes morinella. Ruddy Turnstone. — One of 

 the most abundant of the shore birds, being found in about equal abundance 

 along the surf and on the tidal flats. 



58. Colinus virginianus floridanus. Florida Bob- white. — Bob- 

 white did not appear to be very common, but were sometimes seen along 

 the edges of the roads. I assume that they were of this subspecies. 



59. Zenaidura macroura carolinensis. Mourning Dove. — A 

 common bird in the central part of the county, but not often seen near the 

 water. 



60. Zenaida zenaida. Zenaida Dove. — I saw two Zenaida Doves 

 on Pass-a-Grille Key on February 11. This is the only record I have of the 

 species. 



61. Chsemepelia passerina terrestris. Ground Dove. — Ground 

 Doves are common throughout Pinellas County both on the mainland and 

 the keys. In St. Petersburg they are often seen about the door yards. 

 They are locally called Sand Doves, perhaps because all the ground is sand. 



62. Cathartes aura septentrionalis. Turkey Vulture. — See 

 following species. 



63. Catharista urubu. Black Vulture. — Both species of Vultures 

 are of course extremely abundant. There is not a moment of the day 

 when one to a hundred cannot be seen. The two species seem to be about 

 equally common. 



64. Circus hudsonius. Marsh Hawk. — A Marsh Hawk could 

 always be seen about Salt Lake and also along the keys, but there were 

 probably not many individuals present. 



65. Accipiter velox. Sharp-shinned Hawk. — I saw one Sharp- 

 shinned Hawk in the Pine woods on February 20. 



66. Haliaeetus leucocephalus leucocephalus. Bald Eagle. — 

 Quite common all around the coast line of the county. I knew of six 

 nests. The first one which I found had two young which looked to be 

 about half grown on February 13. 



67. Falco sparverius sparverius. Sparrow Hawk. — Sparrow 

 Hawks were abundant everywhere on mainland and keys. 



68. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis. Osprey. — Frequently seen 

 about the bays and over the Gulf. 



69. Aluco pratincola. Barn Owl. — I flushed a Barn Owl among 

 some thick pines north of the city on February 27. It lingered about the 

 locality, where it probably spent the greater part of its time. 



70. Asio flammeus. Short-eared Owl. — The only Short-eared 

 Owl which I saw I flushed from among the grass tufts at the lower end of 

 Pass-a-Grille Key on February 1 1 . 



71. Otus asio floridanus. Florida Screech Owl. — I frequently 

 heard Screech Owls and knew of one hollow tree in which one roosted. 

 Because of the locality I assumed the Owls to be floridanus.
