'A % KITE. SHORT-EARED OWI-. The Kite is the firft of the migratory birds which appears in Sweden in the Ipring. Mr. Oedman. The Kestril breeds not only in ruins but in hollow-trees. Mr. Oedman. The Strix Aluco of Linn^us ; La Hnlote, de Buffon^ I. 358 \ PL Enl. 441, is a bird of Swederty omitted in the Ar5lk Zoology. I never met with it, therefore borrow the defcription from Mr. Latham*^ Orni - thology. The head is large : irides duflcy: circle of feathers round the eyes grc7ini: upper part of tlie body deep iron-grev, fpotted with black and white : bread and belly wliite, flriped down with ragged black ftrokcs: legs and feet covered with feathers, white, with numerour- black fpecks: tail barred with reddifli afli and black : the firft feather of the w ings exceeds the reft by two or three inches: the wings reach beyond the end of the tail. This fpecies lays, in April, from three to five eggs, of a fnowy white- nefs: the young are blind to the tench day, and are covered with filthy red warts. The female parent feeds them with mice. They fly towards the end of July. The note of the young is like the noife of granfhing one's teeth. The old fly in the moft quiet manner, and make no fort of noife: they feed on fmall birds, but vetches have been found in their ftomach. In the fummer they live in the woods; towards win- ter return to the neighborhood of houfes. It refufes to <*at in cap- tivity, and lofes its life with its liberty. If one of its young is taken .moves the reft to another away, pla The Short-eared Owl, Ar£f. Zool. II. No, 115. appears to me to be La Chouette of the Comte de Buffon, and his Moyen Due, ou Hibou, tab. 29. of the PL Enlim. In p. 102. of my Indexes to his Ornitho- logie, and the PL Enl, I have endeavoured to clear up the confufion, which the illuftrious writer has introduced on the fubjeft. I a Dotflor i9 2 2 J. 229.
