Connecticut Bird Notes. — This spring (1901) Mr. J. B. Canfield of 
Bridgeport, Conn., reports that three pairs of Rough-winged Swallows 
(Stelgido-pteryx serritennis ) nested in this vicinity. Judge John N. Clark, 
of Saybrook, notes another pair in that locality; and while en route on his 
trip to New Hampshire he noted a pair at White River Junction. Mr. 
R. Heber Howe, Jr., reports a pair at Gales Ferry. Mr. Calvin Rawson 
(‘J- M. W.’) of Norwich, Conn., also reports two pairs of Rough-wings, 
one nesting under the Laurel Hill bridge, and the other in the new coal 
pocket. 
I wish to record the nesting of three pairs of Rough-winged Swallows, 
one pair at Millstone Point, a short distance south of New London, first 
noticed May 12; a pair in Groton, opposite New London, June 10; and a 
pair still further east in Poquonnoc, also on June 10, about ten miles from 
the Rhode Island border. 
Rough-winged Swallows are evidently extending their breeding range 
farther and farther eastward, and are more numerous than generally sup- 
posed, and the A. O. U. Check-List should include Connecticut as within 
its breeding range. This is the verdict of Judge John N. Clark of Saybrook, 
Conn., one of our most careful observers, with long years of experience in 
ornithological field work.
