Abstract

Ten white-collared swifts, or Streptoprocne zonaris, lying in a straight row on their left sides. Tags tied to the birds' feet and taped below them identify the birds by where they were found; the locations include Cuba, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Venezuela. The newest bird on the far left is the first white-collared swift specimen found in the U.S. It was found deceased in Pensacola, Florida on January 25, 1981.
