Cliff Swallows
21.
July 19
Conaway Ranch, 2 mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif.
Approximately 100 Cliff, Tree, + Barn Swallows
were seen in the tules + flying over the
main ditch about 2 miles south of ranch
headquarters.
July 23
Bridge, 12 mi. S.E. of Dixon, Solano Co., Calif.
About 40 birds of this species were seen
flying over the bridge, + some birds
were frightened from nests underneath
the bridge.
July 26
Conaway Ranch, 2 mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif.
About 300 Swallows; mostly Cliff, but
some Barn, were seen on the electric
wires on the north side of Willow Slough
beside Lee Baldock's house.

Nearly 300 Swallows were again seen
on the electric wires near the Baldock
place. As before, the great majority are
Cliff Swallows.
1951
Feb. 22
Bridges, 7 mi. west, 1 mi. north of Davis, Yolo Co., Calif.
The bridge at the corner of roads 31 + 95
had about half a dozen rather complete
nests at the north end, but only partial
remnants remained at the south end
of the bridge. (This is bridge I in my key).
The bridge 1/4 mile farther west of
Bridge I (this is Bridge J) had no
complete nests + very few remnants
of former nests. In no case was
there 1/2 a nest remaining.
