Killdeer. Oxyechus vociferus (Linnaeus). 
Common about Kenton in the open fields and pastures. These 
birds breed in this neighborhood, as young birds were often seen. 
Ruffed Grouse. Bonasa umbellus (Linn.). 
Abundant. These birds are found wherever there is a suffic¬ 
iently dense growth of trees and underbrush. Found in the 
“ cut-over region, about Kenton, as well as in the second- 
growth area; abundant in the woods about Lakes 16 and 33, and 
apparently as plentiful in the pine as in the hard. Seldom 
found separately. 
Mourning Dove. Zenaidura macroura carolinensis (Linn), 
Several were seen in the vicinity of Kenton. They frequent 
the open areas rather than the dense woods, and may sometimes 
be found feeding upon the ground in perfectly open, brush-free 
clearings, though they are quite wary. 
Marsh Hawk. Circus hudsonius (Linn). 
Three individuals were seen during the week spent at Lake 33, 
all females, and all flying rather high for this species. 
Sharp-shinned Hawk. Accipiter velox (Wilson), 
Seen only in the vicinity of Kenton, where they were found 
commonly in the clearings and burned areas. 
Cooper Hawk. Accipiter cooperi (Bonaparte). 
A single bird of this species was seen perched on a fence post 
north of Kenton. 
Red-tailed Hawk. Buteo horealis horealis (Gmelin). 
Pound quite commonly in the more open country about Ken¬ 
ton. Eleven individuals were identified, five of which were the 
finest speciments the writer has seen. 
Broad-winged Hawk. Buteo platypterus (Vieillot). 
Several hawks, presumably of this species, were seen near Ken¬ 
ton, though but a single bird was satisfactorily identified. They 
are very timid.
