ITS NORTHERN BREEDING LIMIT. 



The Turkey Buzzard breeds in many sections of 

 ('liester and Delaware counties. Allred P. Lee liaa 

 observed il as a common resident in the vicinity of 

 Oxford; Harry Wilson, a prominent local naturalist, 

 has found them breedinj^- at different points abotit Doe 

 Kuu, and also near Parkesburg. Within a radius of 

 about six miles from West Chester, I have found them 

 breeding" — never more than one pair in a [>lace — in 

 seven differcMit locali'ties in the counties of Chester and 

 Delaware. The records given in the ])receding 

 columns concerning the breeding of this s])ecies show 

 that it has been found nesting in at least thirteen or 

 fourteen counties of Pennsylvania, and that its 

 northern breeding range is restricted to about the 

 lower third of this State.
