10 RAEVAU DUB ON] BUREN 
Black-bellied Plover—Aug. 30, 1985; Dowitcher—One of this species 
arrived at the bay above the dam on Aug. 25 and remained until Sept. 
10, 1934. The subspecies could not be determined with any certainty. 
Northern Phalarope—Aug. 16, 1933; Wilson’s Phalarope—Apr. 29, 
1934: 
Ring-billed Gull —Mar. 6 and 22, 1932; Common Tern—May 19, 
1934; Black Tern—July 29, 1933 and June 30, 1934. 
Barn Owl—One seen on Nov. 12, 1932 was later taken by a sports- 
man. Great Horned Owl—A single owl of this species was found in 
a small patch of woods on Oct. 1, 1933. A second may have been pres- 
ent but since both were not seen at once this is uncertain. Barred 
Owl—A dead specimen was found on Mar. 3, 1934 and mounted. We 
judged it had died about a week earlier from an infection in the wing 
where it had been shot. Long-eared Owl—Dec. 24, 1934; Short-eared 
Owl—In 1934 this species was seen on three occasions; Apr. 8, Sept. 
29 and Nov. 18. Saw-whet Owl—February 16, 1933. May have been 
found on other occasions. 
Whip-poor-will—They have been found on three occasions; all of 
these were in 1934. On May 19 the first was heard and on the nights 
of June 2 and 38 another, probably the same individual on both eve- 
nings, gave a few calls. 
Red-bellied Woodpecker—Having been found but rarely, red-bellies 
seem to be rather irregular in their migrations through our area. In 
the spring of 1931 a pair appeared on Apr. 9 and remained until some- 
time in June. It is not known whether or not they nested. Again on 
Apr. 8, 1984 a pair was observed but this time they did not remain. 
Olive-sided Flycatcher—tThis species is far from common although 
individuals were seen upon May 21, 1933, Aug. 26, Sept. 3 and 10, 1934 
and Sept. 7, 1935. Upon only one of these occasions were the white 
tufts on the flanks seen and that individual exhibited them only 
occasionally after it had returned from a short flight for an insect. 
Red-breasted Nuthatch—Judging by our records, these birds are 
irregular migrants and occasional winter visitants. They were seen 
upon Jan. 1, 19883 which makes the only winter record. In migration 
they have been observed from Mar. 17 to May 8 and from Sept. 18 te 
Oct. 7. All of these records were made in 1932 and 1933 when they 
seemed to be unusually numerous. 
Bewick’s Wren—Apr. 8, 1982; Carolina Wren—Apparently rathe1 
irregular in occurrence, this wren was first recorded on Mar. 14, 1932 
and later upon Mar. 25 of the same year. The following year wrens 
were seen on Mar. 31 and from July 27 to Nov. 4. 
Blue-grey Gnatcatcher—Aug. 31, 1932, Apr. 29, 1933 and June 28, 
1934. 
Bohemian Waxwing—tThese large waxwings appeared in numbers 
early in 1932 and were seen from February 21 to April 4 of that year. 
Northern Shrike—A single individual was seen on the 20th of 
Nov. in 1982. One stayed near a small patch of Hawthornes from Jan. 
1 until Feb. 11, 1984. Migrant Shrike—Although not at all uncommon,
