1942 We stayed at Boulder Creek from Thursday p.m. (June 25- to Sunday p.m., June 28. Weather warm, too hot on Sunday. As we drove across from Camp Everet to Feltin District's swallows flying from a hole in a sand bank and stopped to investigate. A pair of Rough-winged Swallows were feeding young which were visible at the opening and I could see about six months pop open as the adults approached the hole. On Friday p.m. Mr. Sheldon, and Mr. Scott came down and when I showed them the hole I heard also the song of the Purple Martin and saw one in the top of a dead tree- I watched it fly and make sure it was a Martin.
