TREE SWALLOW (Iridoprocne bicolor) 



This is the first of our Swallows to arrive in spring and 

 the last to leave in fall. At the eastern end of Long Island it 

 arrives regularly in March, but further inland March records

 nesting species it is strangely local. It is also the very first 

 land-bird to move south in the fall.

on the eastern half of the island; abundant transient; (February 



16) March 16 to November 24, and on a few occasions into January. 



ORIENT. Abundant transient, rare summer resident, March 



16, 1908 to October 25, frequently into November, and recorded
