38 The Wilson Bulletin — No. 94 



This, then, makes four stations at which breeding birds have 

 been located in the county in one summer, that I know of. I con- 

 sider this a good showing for a county that is far beyond this 

 bird's regular breeding range.

OCCURRENCE OF Elanoides forficatiis, SWALLOW-TAILED KITE 



AND Ictinia mississipi^iansis, MISSISSIPPI KITE jg^/ 



IN WAKULLA COUNTY, FLA. 



Both of these species seem to be regular summer residents in 

 the vicinity of St. Marks. E. forficatus, while perhaps more reg- 

 ular has not been observed as numerous as I. mississii}piensis. 

 Last year a pair of Swallow-tails or " Fork-tail Fishing Hawks," in 

 local parlance, nested in the heavy-timbered hammock adjacent 

 to the river two miles above our village. Both old birds were seen 

 from about May 1st and frequently throughout May and June in 

 the same immediate neighborhood, and on July 21 five birds were 

 seen in rather close company. March 11, 1914, is the earliest date 

 noted for their arrival. 



Mississippi Kites have never been noted earlier than May 2 

 (1914), and the latest date is September 10 (1915). Four were 

 seen in company circling over a river marsh May 27, 1912. On 

 May 10, 1914, seven were in company at a small rain-water pond, 

 darting down to the water's edge from small pine trees — presuma- 

 bly catching frogs. August 14, 1915, three were perched near to- 

 gether, but in separate pine trees in high dry pine woods. 



During the past two years my notes show six observations on 

 the Swallow-tailed Kite, with twelve individuals seen, and during 

 the same time there were eleven observations on the Mississippi 

 Kite and twenty-two individuals noted.

MIGRATION OF THE BAY-BREASTED WARBLER AT 

 YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO. 



On August 11th, 1915, we saw three Bay-breasted Warblers, one of 

 which was a male, apparently in full breeding plumage. The next 

 birds of this species were seen August 23d, and after that they 

 became more numerous, until on September 6th we listed them 

 as common. On September 1st one bird was seen which had a 

 sprinkling of brown feathers on its breast, giving it quite a mot- 

 tled appearance. 



After the sixth of September fewer Bay-breasted Warblers were 

 seen, until on September 18th we listed none at all.
