26 BIRDS OF OHIO. 
This loon is casual as a winter visitor in the state. There 
have been a number of specimens captured since that re- 
corded by Dr. Wheaton, which was captured neai Kelley’s 
Island instead of in Sandusky Bay, Mr. Roscoe J. Webb, 
who secured the specimen from Mr. Crane in whose col- 
lection it was, tells me.

taken at Cincinnati, according to Mr. Dury and Dr. Lang- 
don, and at Wheelersburg, Scioto county, by Rev. Mr. Hen- 
ninger. It is rare on Lake Erie. No dates of migration 
can be given, but it is probably to be found in late March.

Family STeRcorARIIDZ. Skuas and Jaegers. 
Two species of this small family reach our state more or 
less regularly, but are rare everywhere. They are the birds 
of prey among the gulls and terns, getting a large part of 
their living by forcing the gulls and terns to drop their 
catch of fish, thus stealing it from them. It is not clear 
whether these birds ever eat the garbage thrown out from 
cities into the ocean; if hard pressed for food they might 
do so.
