273- Stelgidopteryx serripennis {And.). Rough-winged 

 Swallow. (617.) — North America, breeding as far north as British 

 Columbia, Minnesota and Connecticut, and wintering in the tropics. 

 This Swallow is locally common in the Lower Hudson River Valley, 

 at Riverdale (Bic knell), Hastings-on-the-Hudson \Rowley), Sing 

 Sing (Fisher) ; at Highland Falls, which seems to be near 

 the northern limit of its range in the Hudson Valley, it is a 

 rare summer resident (M earns). I have seen it near Ramapo, 

 N. Y., and with Dr. J. Dwight, Jr., found a small colony breeding 

 at Port Jervis, N. Y. It breeds near New Haven, Connecticut, 

 in small numbers, and is rare as far north as Hartford (Sage). On 

 Long Island it is of rare and irregular occurrence (Dutcher).
