(6 April) etc I then finished up the day by checking holes
at School Hill (no eggs) 1500, 1800, Hay Blom, Low Hay
(watching there, too) and Blom-one. Returning to the
labs late in the day, I stumbled upon a Revolution at

White-throated Swifts (2) at Road 1.

at Buckeye were the events of the day. First western kingbirds
of the year here, one at Lower Barn, a second at Blom-one.
Nancy and I took an eggplant parmesan - cornbread dinner up to
Red House
9 April The highlights of the day were the arrival of Sandy Nishinura,

10 April The revolution at Plaque seemed to be resolved today,
at that was the high point. In addition, I watched
