Aéronautes melanoleucus (Baird). White-throated Swift. 
Common on the rim of Rio Grande Canyon below the mouth of El 
Rito de los Frijoles. 
Kohe. 
T a ykohe, ‘sun hummingbird’ (tay, sun; kohe, hummingbird), 
Selasphorus rufus (Gmelin). Rufous Hummingbird. 
Very abundant at Rito de los Frijoles Canyon, dozens of them 
hovering over the patches of “waco,” or “bee-plant’’ (Cleome ser- 
rulata Pursh.). Specimens taken were identified by Dr. Ridgway. 
Our Indian informants correctly distinguished the males and females 
when shown specimens, noticed that they were found mostly about 
the Cleome, and said they were not found in the Rio Grande Canyon. 
The broad-tailed hummingbird (Selasphorus platycercus [Swainson)), 
ealliope hummingbird (Stellula calliope [Gould]), and black-chinned 
hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri [Bourc. & Mul.]}) are likely to be 
found in this region. 
Hodge gives Mi’itsr-hano as a Hummingbird clan of San Felipe. 
Kwe’ ex. 
Pica pica hudsonia (Sabine). Magpie. 
This conspicuous bird is well known to the Tewa and is mentioned 
in their mythology. 
Tsekwe’x, ‘spruce magpie’ (fse, Douglas spruce; kwe’z, mag- 
pie). 
A kind of magpie. 
No particulars could be learned except that this bird is a kind of 
magpie which frequents fse* trees. 
Se’. 
Jay. 
For the species considered separately, see below. 
Hodge gives Se-tdéa as a “bluebird” clan of San Ildefonso. 
Se’. . 
Cyanocitta stelleri diademata (Bonaparte). Long-crested Jay. 
This bird, so easily recognized by its dark blue color and long 
crest, or topknot, is common all over the region—in the canyons, on 
the mesas, and in the mountains. Strangely enough, our Indian 
informants, though quite familiar with the bird, had not noticed that 
it lowered its crest in flying, but thought the crest was always erect. 
ae 
Aphelocoma woodhousei (Baird). Woodhouse’s Jay. 
This and the pifion jay are readily distinguished from the long- 
crested jay by the lack of crests. The pifion jay is nearly uniform
