Twenty-three dates of first arrival in spring fall between April 29 and May 22 (the median is May 12), and nine dates of last observation in autumn run from September 13 to October 12 (the median is September 23). _Breeding schedule._--Sixty-nine records of egg-laying span the period May 11 to September 10 (Fig. 4); the modal date of laying is June 5. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is 3 eggs (3.1, 2-5; 54). Nests are placed about six feet high (from four to 20 feet) in sumac, rose, pawpaw, mulberry, elm, cottonwood, willow, redbud, oak, osage orange, walnut, boxelder, usually on horizontal surfaces, and in heavy cover. =Black-billed Cuckoo=: _Coccyzus erythropthalmus_ (Wilson).--This is an uncommon summer resident, occurring in heavy riparian shrubbery and second-growth. Breeding records are chiefly from eastern Kansas, but specimens have been taken in the breeding season in all parts of the State. Eleven dates of first arrival in spring are from May 7 to May 30 (the median is May 19), and four dates of last observed occurrence in autumn are between September 4 and October 7 (the average is September 18). _Breeding schedule._--Seventeen records of egg-laying are between May 21 and August 10; the mode is at June 5. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is 2 to 3 eggs (2.5, 2-3; 13). Nests are placed about four feet high in heavy cover in plum, elm, locust, and the like. =Roadrunner=: _Geococcyx californianus_ (Lesson).--This is a local resident in southern Kansas in xeric scrub or open edge habitats. Breeding records are from Cowley and Sumner counties. _Breeding schedule._--Eggs are laid at least from early April to mid-July. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is about 5 eggs (4.5, 3-6; 4). Nests are placed on the ground under plant cover, or occasionally low in bushes. =Barn Owl=: _Tyto alba pratincola_ Bonaparte.--This resident has a low density throughout Kansas in open woodland and near agricultural enterprises of man. _Breeding schedule._--The few records available indicate egg-laying occurs at least from April to July; elsewhere the species is known to have a more protracted breeding schedule. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is about 5 eggs (4.7, 2-6; 4). Nests are informal aggregations of sticks and litter placed in recesses in stumps, hollow trees, rocky and earthen banks, and dwellings and outbuildings of man. =Screech Owl=: _Otus asio_ (Linnaeus).--This is a common resident in woodland habitats throughout Kansas. _O. a. aikeni_ (Brewster) occurs west of Rawlins, Gove, and Comanche counties, and _O. a. naevius_ (Gmelin) occurs in the remainder of the State except for the eastern south-central sector, occupied by _O. a. hasbroucki_ Ridgway. _Breeding schedule._--Fifteen records of egg-laying span the period March 20 to May 10; there is a strong mode at April 5.
