the vicinity of this city it is rare. Dr. Kirtland says that it is 
com. and breeds in Northern Ohio. Mr. Read that it is frequently 
seen (Wheaten). Not com. S. R. (Dawson). Little known, not 
because it is rare, for it is present in some numbers throughout the

dium sized hawks. It should be found wintering south of Columbus,
