"Bulletin" of the Michigan Ornithological Club, Vol i, W. M. Randall, of 

 Belleville, states that a pair nested in that locality in 1897. 



5. Elanoides forficatus (Linn). 



Swallow Tailed Kite. — One record only. The late W. H. Collins shot 

 a specimen in 1881, which is now preserved in the collection of the Detroit 

 Museum of Art. However, this bird has been noted at London, Ontario, 

 north of here, and one was shot in June, 1892, in Monroe County, directly 

 south of Wayne County. 



6. Pirus hudsonius (Linn). 



Marsh Hawk. — Common summer resident. Occasionally seen in winter, 

 especially in the fields adjacent to the river and lake. Breeds both inland 

 and at the Flats. 



7. Accipiter velox (Wils). 



Shark Shinned Hawk. — Rather a rare migrant, usually observed only 

 in March and April and the Fall. 



8. Accipter cooperii (Bonap.) 



Cooper Hawk. — A common bird, next to Buteo lineatus, our most abun- 

 dant breeding hawk. Rarely seen in winter. 



9. Accipiter atricapillus (Wils). 



Am. Goshawk. — Very rare. I have never observed the bird here. Mr. 

 James B. Purdy records one shot December 24, 1898, at Plymouth. 



10. Buteo borealis (Gmel). 



Red Tailed Hawk. — Fairly abundant, many are resident birds. Breeds in 

 the larger timber in the more unsettled sections. 



11. Buteo lineatus (Gmel). 



Red Shouldered Hawk. — Our most abundant hawk, breeding commonly 

 throughout the section. A few are resident. 



12. Buteo swainsoni (Bonap.). 



Swainson's Hawk. — A rare straggler. Several have been taken in 

 Wayne County. Mr. Davidson records one taken by Mr. John Stocker 

 near Grosse Pointe. 



13. Buteo latissmus (Wils). 



Broad Winged Hawk.— Fairly abundant, migrant usually observed in 

 late April and early May. I am positive that the bird breeds here, but to my 

 knowledge no eggs have been taken. 



14. Archibuteo lapopus sancti-johannis (Gmel). 



Am. Rough-legged Hawk.— Migrant, seen generally in late fall and 

 winter, less frequently in spring. 



15. Aquila chrysaetos (Linn). 



Golden Eagle.— A rare straggler. I have never seen it. James B. 

 Purdy records two as being taken near Plymouth— one shot in December, 

 1901, and one in October, 1898.
