ite eggs, which are usually laid the latter
half of May.

During the migrations the Bank Swallow travels with other members of its
family, sharing their roost in the marshes by night and their wayside
perch by day.

ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW

_Stelgidopteryx serripennis. Case 6, Fig. 56_

With the general appearance of the Bank Swallow,
but slightly larger, grayer below, and with no
breast-band. L. 5-3/4.

_Range._ Nests from the Gulf States north to
Massachusetts and Minnesota: winters in the
tropics.

Washington, common S.R., Apl. 2-Sept. 3. Ossining,
common S.R., Apl. 17-Aug. 12. N. Ohio, common
S.R., Apl. 15-Sept. 20. SE. Minn., common S.R.,
Apl. 14-Aug. 26.

Least common of our Swallows. It nests in small colonies of about half a
dozen pairs, sometimes in holes, at others under bridges, crevices in
cliffs and similar situations. In the fall, it flocks with other species
of its family. Its 4-8 white eggs are laid the latter half of May.

WAXWINGS. FAMILY BOMBYCILLIDAE

BOHEMIAN WAXWING

_Bombycilla garrula_

Similar to the Cedar Waxwing, but larger, the
primary coverts and secondaries tipped with white,
the primaries tipped with white or yellow, the
under tail-coverts chestnut. L. 8.

_Range._ Western Canada; in winter east to
Minnesota and rarely as far as Connecticut.

Glen Ellyn, one record, Jan. 22, 1908. SE. Minn.,
irregular W.V., until Apl. 1.

There are comparatively few authentic records of this beautiful bird
east of the Alleghanies. Enthusiastic bird-students are, I fear, apt to
give Waxwings, seen in winter, the benefit of the doubt and call them
'Bohemians.' Look especially for the white marks on the Bohemian's
wings. Its large size might not be apparent unless the two species were
seen together.

CEDAR WAXWING

_Bombycilla cedrorum. Case 2, Fig. 40; Case 4, Fig. 54_

Crest usually conspicuous; tail tipped with
yellow; a black 'bridle.'

_Range._ Nests from North Carolina and Kansas to
Canada; winters irregularly throughout the United
States.

Washington, very common P.R., less so in winter.
Ossining, common P.R. Cambridge, not common P.R.,
common S.R., abundant T.V. in spring, Feb. 1-Apl.
25. N. Ohio,
