Hirundo erythrogastra palmeri Grinnell 



Western Barn Swallow 



A single bird noted at Deep Canon, May 31, apparently 

 migrating. At Vallevista. during the first week in September, 

 several were seen passing overhead. One specimen, an immature

Tachycineta thalassina lepida Mearns 



Northern Violet-green Swallow 



An abundant species from about 4500 feet upwards. Seen 

 in some numbers at Kenworthy. where they were nesting in the 

 big pines in the valley. Encountered on Santa Rosa Mountain, 

 from Garnet Queen Mine up to Santa Rosa and Toro peaks. 

 At all the other points visited from Transition upwards, it 

 was one of the commoner species. By the third week in July 

 young birds began to appear on the wing, and in Tahquitz Val- 

 ley at this time were in large flocks hovering about the meadows. 

 Several violet-green swallows were seen at the summit of San 

 Jacinto Peak, July 27. Sixteen specimens were preserved : Ful- 

 ler's Mill, six (nos. 1877-1882), Toro Peak, one (no. 2436), 

 Santa Rosa Peak, one (no. 2437). Strawberry Valley, one (no. 

 2645), Tahquitz Valley, seven (nos. 2749-2755). 



Riparia riparia (Linnaeus)

Seen at but one point. Hemet Lake, August 5 to 15, during 

 which time several birds were observed. These were probably 

 migrants through the region.
