In forenoon spent time photographing.
Near the Swainson Hawk calling in distance
near next location. Only birds of note seen
were two Bank Swallows. Had chance to
view underparts with binoculars + saw
whitish throat, dusky band on breast, and
light underparts. Tail was too deeply notched
for Rough-winged swallow. Back dark
brown, not iridescent. Packed & left

Stopped on way at C.H. Thomas ranch where
he pointed out to us a Sparrow Hawk's

4 yng.; Both in Joshua Stubs near house &
about 30yds apart. Will photo latter.
