Zenaidura macroura carolinensis — Mourning Dove. 
A common sumer resident. While not as plentiful as a decade ago, 
still many can be observed flying about, usually in pairs, throughout the 
summer season. They usually arrive in March and April and remain 
until the middle of November. 
Cathartes aura scptcntrionalis — Turkey Vulture. 
An occasional visitant. One observed at Hewitt on May 7, 1912, 
feeding on some offal from a local butcher, who cast some small pieces 
of lamb on a garbage disposal. I came upon this bird unexpectedly and 
obtained a favorable chance to positively identify it before it made off. 
Circus hudsonius — Marsh Hawk. 
Common permanent resident. More usually met with during the 
warmer months than during the winter months than during the winter, 
but a few may be found even on the coldest days of each year. Belcher 
Swamp is a favorable place for this species. 
Accipiter vclox — Sharp-shinned Hawk. 
Rather common throughout the year, but most often met with dur- 
ing the vernal and autumnal migrations. No record of it breeding here, 
save on May 3, 1909, the writer observed a pair feeding three young 
about two weeks old. As these young were still in the downy stage it is 
very possible that they were hatched in the immediate vicinity. 
Accipiter coopcri — Cooper’s Hawk. 
A common migrant, occasional summer resident and also a rare win- 
ter visitant. Have no record of it breeding in this vicinity. About nine 
miles to the southwest, at Echo Lake, a nest with three eggs was found 
or_ April 10, 1908.
