Birds of Cincinnati and Vicinity. 13 
165*, Buteo borealis, V. RED-'AILED BUZZARD, HEN HAWK. 
Resident; not as common as the following species. 
166*. Buteo lineatus, Jard. RED-SHOULDERED BUZZARD. ‘Resi- 
dent ; common. Iam indebted to Mr. Roll. Hill, for a fine pair of 
this species shot by him at Oakley, Ohio. 
167*, Buteo pennsylvanicus, Bp. BROAD-WINGED BUZZARD. 
Summer resident; rather common. ‘ 
(168). Archibuteo lagopus Gr. var. Sancti-Johannis, Ridg. ROUGH- 
LEGGED BUZZARD. Perhaps a rare winter visitor. 
169. Pandion haliaétus, Savigny. FISH HAWK, OSPREY. Migrant; 
occasionally seen in spring. 
170. Aquila chrysetus, L. GOLDEN EAGLE. Dr. Hunt informs 
me of the occasional occurrence of this species at Valley Junction ; 
it is said to be quite common in some parts of Southern Indiana. 
171. Haliaetus leucocephalus, Savigny. WHITE-HEADED EAGLE, 
BALD EAGLE. Spring and fall migrant. Quite numerous at 
times. Four specimens were procured by Dr. Hunt at Valley Junc- 
tion, in March, 1877, one of which he has presented to the ‘‘ Cin- 
cinnati Society of Natural History.’’ 
FAMILY, CATHARTIDH—American Vultures. 
172.* Cathartes aura, Illiger. TURKEY VULTURE, BUZZARD. 
Summer resident; common. j 
173. Cathartes atratus, Less. BLACK VULTURE, CARRION CROW. 
Irregular visitor. A specimen in my collection was shot near Mad- 
isonville, in the latter part of December, 1876, by Mr. Edward 
Leonard. This is the first recorded instance of its capture in the 
State, although it has been considered an Ohio bird on account of 
Audubon’s statement that it was found “in the State of Ohio as 
far as Cincinnati; it can easily be distinguished from the Turkey 
Buzzard when on the wing, and I have identified it here on two 
previous occasions, both in winter. 
ORDER, CoLuMB&2%—Oolumbine Birds. 
FaMiLy, CoLuMBiIpa— Pigeons. 
174. Hetopistes migratorius, Sw. WILD PIGEON. Migrant; some- 
times in immense flocks, but irregular and much less common than 
formerly.

DOVE. Resident; common. 
ORDER, GALLINE—Gallinaceus Birds. 
FAMILY, MELEAGRIDH—Turkeys. 
176. Meleagris gallopavo, var. americana, Coues. WILD TUR- 
KEY. Formerly common, but fast becoming exterminated in settled 
districts; a few yet remain in favorable localities, within a hundred 
miles of Cincinnati. 
FAMILY, TETRAONIDEZ—Grouse, etc. 
(177). Cupidonia cupido, Bd. PINNATED GROUSE, PRAIRIE 
CHICKEN. Formerly common, but like the preceding species, 
almost exterminated in Ohio.
