some sixteen years ago on Five Mile Beach, which at that 
time was not the summer resort that it is today. He saw 
at least 50 birds in the air at one time, and they were work- 
ing southwest. 
Leonard Pierson reports a flight of 15 at Wayne, flying 
S. W., between 2:30 and 4:30 p. m. Sept. 25, 07. 
William B. Evans saw a flock or about 30-50 individuals 
on Sept. 13, 1905, between Clifton and Burmont, on the P., 
B. and W. R. R., Delaware Co., Pa.; and extensive migra- 
tions of unidentified hawks occur near Berwyn, but at so 
great a height few are reported. The Red-shouldered Hawk, 
which does not summer with us, outnumbers, ten to one, any 
other species coming to earth at this season. I am informed 
by H. Justice Roddy, that he noted in Sept., 1888, while at 
a signal station on top of Pilot Knob, Perry Co., Pa., a 
great migration of the Broad-wing. He counted not less 
than 1000 individuals moving S. E. An occasional Cooper's 
and Red-tailed Hawk accompanied the flight. 
y. H. Riley, Fall Church, Va., has upon one or two occa- 
sions seen a dozen, probably more, during a day’s shooting 
late in the fall, and always supposed they were migrating, as 
they were nearly always flying toward the south. Rey. G. 
Eifrig noted, near Cumberland, Md., Sept. 21, ‘01, 11 a. m., 
a flock of about 25 circling in a very picturesque way over 
Will’s run. The circles of the several birds had different 
centers, but overlapped more or less. Fine sunny day, no 
wind. Ellzey mentions the extraordinary number of hawks, 
Broad-wings predominating, during the fall of 1889, in 
Howard Co., Md. 
Prof. Ellison A. Smyth saw a flock of 14 in pairs, and in 
threes and fours, but nearly all in sight at once, near Blacks- 
burg, Va. All were flying very high toward the S. W.- 
They would stop and circle for a minute or two then con- 
tinue until all had disappeared. 
Scott quotes Atkins to the effect that on Oct. 21, 1887, he 
saw at Key West, Florida, a large flock of hawks, 150 or 
more, mainly of this species. Andrew Allison says that it
