64 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 10 



282. Stelgidopteryx serripennis (Audubon). 



ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW. 



Synonym Cotyle serripennis. 



Status Though there are numerous instances of the occurrence of this spe- 

 cies as a migrant in various parts of the state, breeding records are too few to 

 permit a definite statement as to the region occupied during the nesting season. 

 Reported as breeding at Fort Whipple. (Cones, i866a, p. 72), Cienega Station, 

 southeastern Arizona (Brewster, 1882, p. 146), along the Santa Cruz and San 

 Pedro rivers (F, C. Willard, MS), and Tucson, and at points on the Colorado 

 River between Ehrenberg and Ynma (Mus. Vert. Zool). Also observed at Fort 

 'Mohave, Gila Bend, confluence of Beaverdam and Virgin rivers, Fort Verde, 

 Mellen, Pima Indian Reservation, Keam Canon, and the Sulphur Spring Valley. 

 Seen in February on the Colorado River (Kennedy, 1859, p. 24), and at Fort 

 Mohave (Cooper, 1870, p. no), so it may be found to occasionally pass the win- 

 ter this far north. 



283. Bombycilla garrula (Linnaeus). 



BOHEMIAN WAXWING. 



Synonym Ampelis garrulus. 



Status A rare midwinter straggler from the north. Cooper (1861, p. 122) 

 secured a single specimen at Fort Mohave, January 10, 1861, the only occasion on 

 which the species has been observed in Arizona. This bird, an adult female, is 

 now number 4207, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. 



284. Bombycilla cedromra Vieillot. 



CEDAR WAXWING. 



Synonym Ampelis cedrornm. 



Status Of rare and irregular occurrence. Henshaw (i875b, p. 299) se- 

 cured a specimen thirty miles south of Fort Apache, September n, 1873, under 

 circumstances indicating that it may have been breeding. Otherwise noted dur- 

 ing the migrations and in winter, at a few scattered localities : Galeyville, Cochise 

 County, January ; Tucson, March, May and June ; Grand Canon, September ; 

 Huachtica Mountains, April, May, October. 



285. Phainopepla nitens (Swainson). 



PHAINOPEPLA. 



Synonyms Ptiliogonys nitens; Cichlopsis nitens. 



Status Common summer visitant in the Lower Sonoran of southern arid 

 western Arizona. Reported from many points, north as far as Fort Apache (in 

 August, not necessarily a breeding record), Fort Whipple, and Fort Mohave. 

 Remains through the winter locally in southern Arizona, and along the Colorado 

 River. In the late summer there is a dispersal of individuals into higher alti- 

 tudes, and possibly to more northern localities, than are occupied during the nest- 

 ing time. Found breeding at Fort Mohave in February (Fisher, 1893^ p. 113).
