296 BIRDS OF THE NEW YORK CITY REGION 



BRONX REGION. Now an uncommon or rare transient, 

 May 3, 1917 (C. L. Lewis) to May 23, 1920 (L. N. Nichols); 

 only one recent fall record, October 6, 1921 (L. N. Nichols). 

 New Jersey. Breeding colonies formerly existed at numerous 

 stations, but the bird is now extinct in all the places listed by Dr. 

 Stone in 1910. Colonies still exist near Boonton (Miller), Newfound- 

 land (Miller), south end of Greenwood Lake (Miller), Andover 

 Junction (Griscom), the northeast corner of the Wawayanda 

 Plateau (Griscom), and in a valley about half way between the 

 Kittatinny Ridge and the Delaware River just west of Lake 

 Mashipacong (Griscom). It is of course likely that other colonies 

 will be discovered in the more inaccessible rural sections of Sussex 

 and Warren Counties. As a transient it is now uncommon and 

 decreasing; fall records are particularly defective. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. Uncommon but still a regular 

 transient; April 23, 1922 (Griscom and Laidlaw Williams) to 

 June 5, 1917 (Weber); August 9, 1901 (Hix) to September 26, 

 1903 (Hix). 



BARN SWALLOW (Hirundo erythrogastra) 

 A common and familiar summer resident, and abundant 

 transient, though it has distinctly decreased in numbers as a 

 breeding bird in the last forty years, and now is uncommon or 

 absent in the suburban sections. It seldom arrives before 

 the middle of April nor is it often seen after October 1. 

 Transients pass through until June and return the end of 

 July. 



Long Island. Abundant summer resident except at the ex- 

 treme western end; (March 16) April 8 to October 15 and casually 

 to November 26. 



ORIENT. Abundant summer resident, March 19, 1919 to 

 September 22, 1916; average arrival April 10. 

 MASTIC. Common summer resident. 



LONG BEACH. Abundant transient and present all summer; 



April 22, 1916 (Bicknell) to September 23, 1920 and October 



12, 1918 (Bicknell), casually to November 26, 1918 (Janvrin). 



New York State. Reported April 2, 1882 from New York 



City (Bird-Lore). 



CENTRAL PARK. Common transient, but decreasing; April 

 16, 1911 (Hix) to June 3, 1907 (Hix); July 31, 1908 (Griscom) 

 to September 28, 1910 (Griscom).
