| ABSTRACT | |
| NOTES | This detailed study of four colonies near Moran, Wyoming emphasizes positive and negative social responses and their balance in foraging, loafing, and nesting activities. Foraging aggregations contained members of all four colonies, drifting as a unit. The evolution of colonial nesing in the cliff swallow may have depended on the rather exacting requirements of the species for nesting sites and the scarcity of suitable situations before construction of bridges and other artificial sites by white man. |
