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.

too little water. Many Killdeer - Great

yellow in wing than earlier - Many in -
