June 26 Poleline Bridge, 3 mi. N.E. of Davis, Yolo Co., Calif.
The following additional single birds
were marked from definite nests:
3-50 ---- 50-8772
3-44 ---- 50-8771
3-32 ---- 50-8770
2-32 ---- 50-8769
2-12 ---- 49-25645
4-2 ---- 44-54394
In all, 22 birds were banded under this
bridge tonight, and 17 birds were recaptured.
June 29 Tonight we had to go to 7 different
bridges before we could band 50 birds. At
the bridge 1 mile west of road 98 on road
29, 6 miles N.W. of Davis, the birds had gone
completely, as they had at the bridge 1 1/2
miles west of road 98 on road 27. Under
the bridge 1/2 mile west of the intersection of
roads 31 & 95, only young birds were found,
but at the other bridges the majority of
birds were adults.
June 30 There were absolutely no birds under the
poleline bridge tonight. We had to go to 4
bridges before we banded 9 birds.
July 10 Bridge, 4 mi. west of Davis, Yolo Co., Calif.
The birds had left this bridge by the
time I visited the bridge today.
July 13 Conaway Ranch, 2 mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif.
Cliff Swallows were seen in the air over
the extreme N.E. corner of the ranch, & over
the bridge at Willow Slough at the wet bottom.
