Another was taken near Law- rence on December 25, 1918. 83. Aquila chrysaetos canadensis (Linnaeus). Golden Eagle. Formerly a common resident; now uncommon, except in winter. This fine bird is very seldom seen except in winter in the western part of the state. 84. Haliaeetus leucocephalus leucocephalus (Linnaeus). Southern Bald Eagle. Occasional winter visitant. Like the last species, this eagle is so reduced in numbers that it is no longer common. 85. Circus hudsonius (Linnaeus). Marsh Hawk. Summer resident locally; common winter resident. This is the most abundant hawk in the state, year after year. There are a number of breeding records. * 86. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis (Gmelin). Osprey. Occasional. There are no breeding records; it is found only in the eastern part of the state. 87. Falco rusticolus obsoletus Gmelin. Black Gyrfalcon. Accidental. One was killed near Manhattan by A. L. Runyon on December 1, 1880. 88. Falco mexicanus Schlegel. Prairie Falcon. Formerly a common resi- dent; now uncommon except in the extreme west. A few specimens have been taken in the east. * 89. Falco peregrinus anatum Bonaparte. Duck Hawk. Formerly a common resident; now rare. 90. Falco columbarius columbarius Linnaeus. Eastern Pigeon Hawk. Rare migrant; formerly common.

Common summer resident in the east; occasional in the winter. 94. Falco sparverius phalaena (Lesson). Desert Sparrow Hawk. Probably a summer resident in the extreme west. Not enough skins are available to de- determine the exact status of these two subspecies, but it is probable that the desert sparrow hawk does not occur east of Trego county. 95. Bonasa umbellus umbellus (Linnaeus). Eastern Ruffed Grouse. For- merly a common resident; now extinct in Kansas. The last one was killed be- fore 1900. 96.
