Tachycineta thalassina

Aug. 5
(at dusk)
Floriston, 5300 ft., on Truckee R., Nevada Co., Calif.
Many of this sp. present among numerous
swallows flying up & down over & near
the river, here in "Truckee Canyon".
Aug. 7
E. side Boca Res., 5600 ft., Nevada Co., Calif. - at
least 1 Violet-green flying with several Tree
Swallows & many Cliffs.
Aug. 21
Brosser Cr., 5650 ft., 1 1/3 mi. E, 3 1/2 mi. N Truckee,
Nevada Co., Calif. - A flock of about 10 passed over
in nearly a straight SWward course, crossing
the valley rather than following it. I would
judge them, therefore, to be actually
migrating.
They flew below tree-top height.
