A rare spring migrant. On the twenty-ninth of April, 1879, 

 Mr. H. K. Coale shot four specimens at Dolton, Illinois. On the 

 fifteenth of May, 1895, I obtained three adults of this species at 

 Worth, Illinois. They were flying in company with Barn and 

 Bank Swallows over the marshes. Mr. E. W. Nelson says:* 

 "A rare summer visitant, perhaps breeds."
