Chaetura pelagica. Lake Umbagog. 1903. June 13 At the opposite end of this boat-house my boat-house built in 1899 , well up in the north gable inside, I found a Swift's nest attached to the vertical wall of rough spruce board- ing. Fresh droppings beneath indicated that it is occupied this season, as it was last, according to Jim, but I saw nothing of the birds. Their only chance of ingress and egress, apparently, is a small opening just over the big sliding doors in front. 1907 Chaetura pelagia B. Umbagog August 2 As I was walking along the road, past the Sawyer Cove I saw a Swift enter, almost at full speed, a hole in the roof of a small shed from which a storm funnel had certainly been removed. At the same instant, I heard the shrillness of young. A minute or so later the old bird emerged and flew off over the gable. I then entered the shed & found, as I had expected, the nest fastened to the gable end of the rafters about 2 ft. below the handle of the roof & 7 ft. above the floor. A fully feathered bird which I took at first to be young flew out of the nest in a few minutes later. I then saw four or five young in them some times or four young in this nest. They were about half grown. They were pretty feathery. I watched in the shed until came early dusk, it was nearly dark, at Upton there is a Swift's nest built in a similar manner but on my boat house with eggs & chicks beneath it on the floor 24
