in summer. On July 12, 02, I found at Fish Lake, Turtle mts., a 
dead ad. Broad-wing hanging in a small tree. This bird had been 
dead so long that it was dry, but may have been breeding there. 
It had evidently been shot. The female I took at Rock Lake was 
not a breeding bird, and I have no other record that I can find of 
any baving seen the species in summer (Bishop ms.). Tower Co., 
Rock Lake, June 4, 95, yg. female shot (Bishop ms.) ; Cando, oc- 
curs as a fairly com. migrant. I have no records of its breeding, 
though I have seen it in season. Specimens are hard to get as it 
does not stop long in open country (Judd ms.). Ramsey Co., 
Devil’s Lake, May 4 and 11, ’02, two adults, the former a female,

SourH Dakora—Sanhorn Co.,. Forestburg, on two occasions, 
one June 6, 05, I have seen a hawk, which I took to be of this 
species, but was unable to secure it. My friend, Frank Patton, of 
Artesian, after years of thorough collecting, must still question its 
oceurrence in Sanborn and Minor Cos. (S. E. Central) at least. 
He has thought that he saw it once or twice. H. B. Lee of Hu- 
ron (Beadle Co.), a careful observer and collector, has not found 
it in his vicinity, at least up to two years ago (Visher). Hughes 
Co., Pierre, I have two records. One dated Mar. 25, ’06, and one 
Apr. 12, ’07. The first occurrence I am absolutely positive as to 
its identification, as I shot the specimen out of a large flock—for 
hawks—perhaps fifteen individuals, and identified it as a male 
Broad-wing. It was very emaciated, seemingly nothing in its stom- 
ach whatever. The one I saw last spring was some little distance 
away, but I am sure it was this species (Lee ms.). 
Iowa.—I found it very plenty, never found it breeding (Krider) ; 
not uncom. from Apr. to Oct. (Keys and Williams); fairly com. 
on the average, being quite com. in some portions and almost lack- 
ing in others (Keys); appears to have been somewhat irregularly 
distributed, as far as a number of observers fail to report its oc- 
currence, some reported it as a com. migrant, and others as rare 
(Andersou) Kossuth Co., W. H. Bingham reports it as com., a 
few breed (Anderson). Mitchell Co., spee. 80, by Dr. W. L. Ab- 
bott (Phil. Acad. Nat. Sci. Coll.). Winnebago Co., I found it com. 
in spring and fall, and rare in summer (Anderson); Lake Mills, 
breeding June 30, set of three eggs; another nest same date, a 
mile or so away, but the one egg broken. In late June, ’07, I vis- 
ited this locality and noted one individual, unquestionably a
