LIST OF BIRDS IN THE PARK 115 



Tanager, is not uncommon in the hilltop woods to the east. 

 It comes and goes with the Scarlet Tanager. 



Purple Martin, Progne subis subis (Linn) sr. A scattered 

 few Martins are found flying about over the Park. It may be 

 that some nest in hollow trees in the Park, but it is more 

 probable that they are merely searching for food. We need 

 more bird houses for them. 



Barn Swallow, Hirundo erythrogaster Boddaert tr and 

 sr. Occasionally a Barn Swallow is seen flying about over the 

 Lake of the Woods and Lagoon, or dipping about over the golf 

 course in summer. It is comon over the Park lakes during May 

 and June, but I have no record to indicate that the bird nests 

 in the Park. 



Tree Swallow, Iridoprocne bicolor (Vieillot) tr. Large 

 flocks of these swallows are sometimes seen resting on the tele- 

 phone wires on the borders of the Park, during September and 

 October. They are also commonly seen flying about over the 

 Park lakes during migration. 



Bank Swallow, Riparia riparia (Linn) sr. These Swallows 

 nest in great colonies in the loess bluffs along the Missouri 

 River, none are found nesting in the Park. During migration, 

 however, they are not uncommon about the lakes in company 

 with the preceeding. 



Rough-winged Swallow, Stelgidopteryx serripennis (Aud- 

 obon) sr. These Swallows also are found wheeling about over 

 the lakes, even during the summer months, and may nest in 

 the Park. Their nesting sites are not as easily located as are 

 those of the Bank Swallow. 



Bohemian Waxwing, Bomby cilia garrula Linn wr. Mr.
