212 NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA 61, FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE 



Picoides tridactylus: Northern Three-toed Woodpecker 

 Picoides tridactylus fasciatus 



I saw one, and heard another, of these birds at Kodiak, May 12, 

 1936. Friedmann (1935) lists at least four specimens taken there. 



Osgood (1904) noted this species at Iliamna Village, at Keejik 

 Village on Lake Clark, on the Chulitna River, and near the head 

 of Lake Clark, where he took two specimens. He also mentions 

 a specimen taken by McKay on Nushagak River, January 10, 

 1882. 



Cahalane (1944) observed one at the outlet of Ukak River, 

 September 12, 1940. 



Family TYRANNIDAE 



Sayornis saya: Say's Phoebe 

 Sayornis saya yukonensis 



Osgood (1904) took a specimen of this bird at the mouth of 

 Chulitna River, August 6, 1902, which was the only one seen. 

 We have no other records for this area. 



Family ALAUDIDAE 



Eremoph'ila alpestris: Horned Lark 

 Eremophila alpestris arcticola 



Osgood (1904) says "A small flock of 10 or 15 was seen flying 

 about the summit of 'Portage Mountain,' between the head of 

 the Chulitna River and Swan Lake, August 19." 



The Alaska Peninsula should offer satisfactory nesting habitat 

 for horned larks, but we have no records of their presence. Har- 

 rold Etolin saw one among the sandhills 2 miles south of Cape 

 Etolin, Nunivak Island, on August 28, 1927 (Swarth 1934). 



Family HIRUNDINIDAE 



Tachycineta thalassina: Violet-green Swallow 

 Tachycineta thalassina lepida 



A violet-green swallow was seen flying over the tide flats at 

 Point Gustavus, Icy Strait, on May 12, 1937, and several were 

 noted at Seward on May 21. We saw none west of Seward, but 

 Osgood (1904) found them in considerable numbers at Iliamna 

 Village, and he saw a few on Iliamna and Clark lakes.
