62. SHAEP-SHINNED HAWK 



ACCIPITER VELOX (Wilson) 



Occasionally seen, usually in fall or early winter. Probably a 

 summer resident. 



We have only a few records. In 1900, one was seen on Sep- 

 tember 28, October 25, and December 6. In 1907, one was seen 

 entering Green's woods September 29. 



63. COOPER'S HAWK 



ACCIPITER COOPERI (Bonaparte) 



Apparently rare. Our only record is of one seen November 1, 

 1902, north of the Academy grounds. 



6-1. RED-TAILED HAWK 



BUTEO BOREALIS (Gmclin) 



Seen nearly all the year round, but most common in spring. 

 The greatest number were seen in March (24th and 31st,) 1901, 

 when they were abundant, flying and circling about, quite noisy 

 and giving vent almost constantly to their shrill, well-known calls. 

 This is perhaps the most familiar hawk of the region. An old nest 

 was noticed high up in a lai'ge tree in Overmeyer's woods, where 

 hawks were often seen in the spring, doubtless preparing to use 

 the nest again. Our definite records are as follows : 



1900. — August 26, two or three seen by Mr. Knowlton near 

 old Lake Manitou west of Culver. September 21, one heard in 

 morning near Murray's ; 28th, a large black hawk, believed to be 

 this, seen by Mr. Clark; 30th, one seen near railroad between lake 

 and Belong. October 8, one seen. November 25, one seen by Mr. 

 Clark near the tamarack swamp. December 3, a large black hawk, 

 probably this, seen flying over the lake ; 6th, one seen. 



1901. — January 20, one seen. February 2 and 3, a large whit- 

 ish hawk, thought to be this, seen flying at a distance ; 20th, seen ; 

 24th, heard. March 8, one seen on east side; 11th, one near Nor- 

 ris Inlet; 12th, one near the Gravelpit and another flying high; 

 17th, seen and heard; 24th, several seen flying and heard calling; 

 31st, one seen soaring; heard calling near the lake. April 2, seen; 

 7th, one observed flying southwest of the lake; 9th, one near the 

 tamarack swamp ; 15th, one flying over Lost Lake marsh ; 18th, 

 one flying over Green's field; 19th, one at Long Point; 26th, one at 

 Lost Lake.
