350 EvEKMANN, Birds of Carroll Coutity, Lidiana. [October 



early as April 5. On May 9, 1SS5, I found a nest of the Dove containing 

 three eggs, — the first instance that ever came under my observation of 

 more than two eggs in a nest. 



53. Cathartes aura. Turkey Buzzard. — The Turkey Buzzard is a 

 common summer resident of Carroll County, arriving in the spring early 

 in March. Full sets of eggs were obtained April 23, and again on April 

 29. March 16, 1SS4; March 12, 1885. 



54. Circus hudsonius. Marsh Harrier. — Spring visitant. I have 

 seen it but rarely. I think it breeds near Lake Maxinkuckee, as I have 

 seen it there in July. 



55. Accipiter velox. Sharp-shinned Hawk. — A very rare resident, 

 seen oftenest in the spring. One gotten October 27, 1S84. 



56. Accipiter cooperi. Cooper's Hawk. — A rare resident, especially 

 so in winter. Nest with full complement of eggs found May 10, 1883. 



57. Buteo borealis. Red-tailed Hawk. — Our most abundant Hawk. 

 While it is resident as a species, yet the individual birds migrate more or 

 less. Tliey appear most numerously in March and April, and again in 

 August and September. I have found young Hawks in the nest as earlj' 

 as April 15. 



58. Buteo lineatus. Red-shouldered Hawk.— Resident, but less 

 common than the preceding. Breeds about the same time. 



59. Buteo latissimus. Broad-winged Hawk. — I have occasionally 

 seen this Hawk in spring and autumn. It appears to be rather rare. 



60. Archibuteo lagopus sancti-johannis. Rough-legged Hawk. — A 

 rare winter visitant. 



61. Aquila chrysaetos. Golden Eagle. — A very rare winter visitor. 

 I know of one that was killed in the eastern part of the County in De- 

 cember, 1SS3. 



62. Haliaeetus leucocephalus. Bald Eagle. Rather frequent as a 

 winter visitor. Hardly a winter passes that two or three are not taken 

 in the County. I have noticed them oftenest along the Wabash and the 

 Tippecanoe near which they are said to have bred not many years ago. 

 I have a fine adult male that was caught in the southwestern part of the 

 County, February 20, 18S5. Scarcely does an Eagle come into our State 

 now and get away alive, if he tarry more than a day or two. 



63. Falco columbarius. Pigeon Hawk. — Perhaps a rare resident. 



64. Falco sparverius. Sparrow Hawk. — A common summer resi- 

 dent, and a few remain all the year. 



65. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis. Fish Hawk. — The Osprey is a 

 rare spring and autumn visitant. September 21, 18S3; April 22, 1884; 

 September 22, 1884. 



66. Asio wilsonianus. Long-eared Owl. — Seemingly a rare winter 

 visitor. I have specimens obtained January 29, 18S4, February 5, 1886, 

 and January 14, 1888. 



67. Asio accipitrinus. Short-eared Owl. — A very rare winter vis- 

 itant. 



68. Syrnium nebulosum. Barred Owl.— Resident. This is the most 

 common Owl in this part of the State.
