=Sharp-shinned Hawk=: _Accipiter striatus velox_ (Wilson).--This rare summer resident apparently occurs only in the eastern part. The two nesting records are from Cloud and Pottawatomie counties. _Breeding schedule._--The information at hand suggests the birds lay in April and May. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is about 4 eggs (Davie, 1898). Nests are placed 20 or more feet high in coniferous or deciduous trees. =Cooper Hawk=: _Accipiter cooperii_ (Bonaparte).--This is an uncommon resident. Specimens taken in the breeding season and actual records of nesting come from east of stations in Cloud, Anderson, and Montgomery counties. _Breeding schedule._--Fourteen records of breeding span the period March 21 to May 30; the modal date of egg-laying is April 25. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is 4 eggs (3.8, 2-5; 5). Nests are placed from 15 to 30 feet high, averaging 25 feet in elm, oak, and other trees. =Red-tailed Hawk=: _Buteo jamaicensis borealis_ (Gmelin).--This is a common resident east of the 100th meridian; to the west numbers are reduced, although the species is by no means unusual in western Kansas. Red-tails probably always were uncommon in western Kansas; Wolfe (1961) reports that they were "very rare as a nesting species" in Decatur County shortly after the turn of the 20th Century. _Breeding schedule._--Thirty-six records of breeding span the period February 21 to April 10 (Fig. 3); the modal date of egg-laying is March 5. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is 3 eggs (2.6, 2-3; 20). Nests are placed about 40 feet high, ranging from 15 to 70 feet in cottonwood, honey locust, osage orange, sycamore, and walnut. =Red-shouldered Hawk=: _Buteo lineatus lineatus_ (Gmelin).--This is an uncommon summer resident in eastern Kansas, in riparian and bottomland timber. Nesting records are available from Leavenworth, Woodson, and Linn counties, and red-shoulders probably also nest in Doniphan County (Linsdale, 1928). _Breeding season._--Eggs are laid in March and April. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is about 3 eggs (Davie, 1898). Nests are placed up to 70 feet high in elms and other streamside trees. TABLE 11.--OCCURRENCE IN TIME OF THE SUMMER RESIDENT VULTURE AND HAWKS IN KANSAS
