132. BARN SWALLOW 



HIRUNDO ERYTHROGASTRA Boddaert 



An abundant summer resident, arriving as early as April 6 and 

 remaining at least until the middle of October. On October 12, 



1900, a large flock observed flying southeast across the lake, skim- 

 ming, dipping, turning and twittering. In 1913, noted almost 

 daily from September 2 to 24. 



133. TREE SWALLOW 



IRIDOPROCNE BICOLOR (Vieillot) 



The Tree Swallow or White-bellied Swallow is a common spring 

 and fall migrant and a few may possibly remain to breed. On 

 April 6 and 7, 1885, they were abundant, flying about over the west 

 edge of the lake, alighting occasionally on the limbs of a dead tree 

 on shore. It was noted almost daily from April 4 to 29, 1901, and 

 June 20, 1902. In the fall, September 30 to October 15, 1899; 

 October 12 to 18, 1900; October 9 to 24, 1906; October 15 and 

 16, 1907; and September 23 to October 13, 1913. On Septem- 

 ber 23, 30 to 40 were seen flying over Green's marsh. 



Usually in large flocks in the fall. On October 12, 1906, an 

 immense flock observed on southeast side of lake circling about high 

 in air. The next day many were seen perched on dead trees at 

 south end of the lake. 



134. BANK SWALLOW 



RIPARIA RIP ARIA (Linnteus) 



An abundant summer resident, nesting in holes in banks and 

 cliffs, especially at the Gravelpit. 



July and August, 1899, abundant ; many often seen sitting on 

 telegraph wires, as does also the cliff swallow. Noted July 8, and 

 October 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 16. 



Noted September 30, and October 11, 1900 ; May 9, 10, and 14, 



1901. June 19 and 20, 1902 ; July 7, 12, and 20, 1910 ; and Sep- 

 tember 7 and 8, 1913. 



135. ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW 



STELGIDOPTERYX SERRIPENNIS (Audubon) 



Probably a common summer resident, but not always distin- 

 guished from the bank swallow. Our notes contain references to 

 it only in July and August, 1899, and September 3, 1913.
