58. [343] Buteo plali/iffenis (Vieill.). Broad- winged Hawk.* 



Rather rare resident. Not reported from this county before 1892. 

 More often seen in recent years. Commonest in April and October. 



59. [347a] Arcltibuteo litgopnx sctMti-johannis (Gmel.)- American Rough- 



legged Hawk. 

 Rare winter visitor; February 21, 1885 (C. H. B.). 



60. [349] Aqidla chrysactoit (Linn. ). Golden Eagle. 



Rare winter visitor: a few seen every winter. Has been observed 

 as late as May 13, 1903 (W. L. M.) in Brown County, where it is as 

 likely to remain to breed as in any part of Indiana. Last date for 

 Monroe County, No vernier 28, 11)03. 



61. [352] /Iitliit'i'tnx It'wocf'phftlHn Linn.). Bald Eagle. 



Rare winter visitor. Considered less rare than the last by W. S. 

 Blatchley and B. W. Evernmnn. But in recent years the Bald Eagle 

 has not been observed at all, while Golden Eagles have been seen and 

 captured every year. The last date is July 29, 1885 (S. E. Meek). This 

 date suggests a possibility of summer residence of this bird also. 



62. [357] Fah'o coiumbarius Linn. Pigeon Hawk. 



Rare migrant, taken several times during 1885-1887, but not observed 

 in recent years. March 12, 1887 (W. S. B.). April 28, 1885 (C. H. B.). 

 November 7, 1885 (G. G. W.) 



63. [360] Falm x)>arrerins Linn. American Sparrow Hawk.* 



Common resident, less numerous in winter; in fact, they are entirely 

 absent some winters as they were during those of 19-00-1901, 1902-1903 

 and 1884-1885. They become common in March March 15, 1902, March 

 19, 1903, March 2G, 1885 (C. H. B.). They have been observed mating 

 March 17, '3 (W. L. M.), and repairing a nest on the University cam- 

 pus, which has been used for years, on April 11, 1901 and 1933. In 

 years when they do not winter it is seen that the females are the 

 first migrants, as for example, in 3885. The first and second dates for 

 females were March 17 and 20, while males were not seen until March 

 23 and 24. 



64. [364] Pandion haliaetus carolinemis (Gmel. ). American Osprey. 

 Rather rare migrant. March 12 to April 29. November. C. H. 



Bollmann saw but one in four years, March 12, 1885. B. W. Evermann 

 said it was occasional on the White River ('87), and E. M. Kindle 

 reported it during November, 1892. Of late it has been seen frequently
