"This valua>)le bird should be protected by law" (J. B. Purdyi. Genus ACCIPITER 14»5 .* (41)4-), Accipiter velox iWils^). *Shakp-,shinned Hawk. Common: throughout the state; April to August; occasional in winter; "Iron Mountain " (E. E. Brewster); " Keweenaw Point " (Kneeland); " Mackinac Island " (S. E. White); probably breeds; Dr. M. Gibbs writes me that it is not known to breed in Kalamazoo county; nests in trees high up from the ground; eggs three to live, rarely seven; "a single bird has been known to lay seventeen eggs in succession" (A. W. Butler), bluish or greenish white, spotted at large end with brown. This is one of our most common small hawks, it is brave and takes toll of the fancier; "this and the following species are the only two common hawks that are injui'ious" (Dr. A. K. Fisher); "too small I think to be classed as a chicken hawk " (Prof. Ludwig Kiunlein); " I have seen it kill chickens"' (S. E. White)..
