GAME ANIMALS AND BIRDS OF FLORIDA. 45 



23. Kingfisher (Ceryle alcyon}. Comparatively abun 

 dant along the Kissimmee and all sides of the lake. 



24. Chuckwill s widow (Antrostomus Carolinensis). A 

 few heard at the deserted Indian village on the east shore. 



25. Ivory bill woodpecker (Picusprincipalis). None 

 satisfactorily identified, though I caught a glimpse of 

 several which I then thought to be this species. 



26. Pileated woodpecker (Hylotomus pileatus). 

 Abundant ; its noisy, rattling note could be heard in 

 all the cypress belts. 



27. Red-bellied woodpecker (Centurus Carolinas). 

 Numerous ; the most abundant of the picidca here, as 

 well as all over Florida. 



28. Golden-winged woodpecker, (Golaptes auratus). 

 Not numerous. 



29. Paroquet (Conurus Carolinensis). Few flocks 

 seen. Along the upper portion of our route on the 

 Kissimmee they were abundant. I think they breed in 

 the cypress belt of the east shore. 



30. Turkey vulture (Cathartes aura). Seen every 

 where sailing high over the lake, or suddenly flapping 

 out of some thick cypress. 



31. Black vulture (Cathartes atratus). Rare. 



32. Caracara eagle (Polyborus Brasiliensis). Not 

 numerous. Regarding this species, and the sacred vul 

 ture of Bartram, I shall have some notes in a future 

 number. 



33. Falco sparrerius, (sparrow-hawk). Abundant 

 along the Kissimmee ; rare on the lake. 



34. Buteo lineatus (red-shouldered hawk). Most 

 numerous species, having young in nearly every large 

 collection of trees. 



35. Fish-hawk (Pandion lialietus). Everywhere
