incubated. They were of large size; one beautifully marked, the other one 

 white. 



Hawk, Swainson's. Abundant and nesting. Four sets of eo-o- s were 

 taken with only slight incubation. Nests mostlv in small trees not over ten 

 or twenty feet from the ground. 



Hawk, Marsh. Twice observed. 



Hawk, Sparrow. Only one seen. 



Heron, Great Blue. Often seen. Reported to be nesting in a clump 

 of bushes ten miles out in the hills. 



Jay, Blue. Fairly, abundant. 



Kino-bird, Abundant, but not nestine. 



Kingbird, Arkansas Two observed. 



Kingfisher. Only a few observed. One nest was opened on the 29th 

 and found to contain five nearly fledged young. 



Kildeer. Abundant and nesting. 



Lark, Pallid Horned. Abundant at the forks. One nest with four 

 eggs taken on the 23rd.

 ing three young two-thirds grown. Parents were observed feeding the 

 young during the day time (cloudy).

 tree in which there was an occupied nest of Swainson's Hawk. The cavity 

 contained five young Owls. They might have been Saw-whets. The 

 glimpse we had of the old bird leaving the nest was not sufficient for pos 

 itive indentification.
