Petrochelidon lunifrons lunifrons (Say). Cliff Swallow 
A regular, though hardly a common summer resident, found 
breeding locally. In 1911, about twenty pairs nested around the 
barns of a farm on Golden Lake, and returned to the same place 
in 1913, after an absence of one year. 
Hirundo erythrogastra (Boddaert). Barn Swallow 
A very common summer resident, breeding in almost any barn 
or hen-house. 
Iridoprocne bicolor (Vieillot). Tree Swallow 
A common summer resident, found breeding in such areas as 
the large swamps near Golden Lake. 
Riparia riparia (Linnaeus). Bank Swallow 
A common summer resident, found breeding in fairly large 
colonies in suitable localities where sand-banks are available. 
There is a large colony that breeds yearly near Ashippun Lake, 
and another smaller one near Nagawicka. Often found nesting 
along railroad cuts. 
Stelgidopteryx serripennis (Audubon). Rough-Winged Swallow 
A common summer resident, though not as abundant as the 
preceding species. Nests usually in holes in banks, but will, if 
necessary adapt itself to crevices in walls or stone piles. 
Bombycilla cedrorum (Vieillot). Cedar Waxwing 
A common summer resident and breeding species, found nesting 
about mid August. The nests are bulky, and are often placed in 
evergreens, if there be any choice of nesting sites. One pair 
utilized over thirty feet of white string stolen from a nearby 
robin’s nest. 
Lanius ludovicianus migrans (W. Palmer). Migrant Shrike 
A regular summer resident and nesting species, found breeding 
in the less frequented regions such as the dense thickets near 
Dutchman’s and Henrietta Lakes. 
Vireosylva olivacea (Linnaeus). Red-Eyed Vireo 
A very, common summer resident, found nesting throughout 
the region, usually high in elm trees. Shares with the house 
wren the honor of being our most tireless songster.
