Bridges, 7 mi. west, 1 mi. North of Davis, Yolo Co., Calif.
The bridge 1/4 mile still farther west
(Bridge K) contained no trace of any
of the nests that were used last year.
Bridge, 4 1/2 mi. west, 5 mi. north of Davis, Yolo Co., Calif.
There were 7 complete nests in the
extreme south-east corner of the bridge,
+ a few fragments of nests at other
places, but the great majority of last
year's nests have disappeared. (This is
Bridge O in my key — 1 1/2 mi. west of
county road 98 on road 27).
Two bridges within 1/4 mile of the
corner of roads 25 and 95 appear to
offer a promise of more nests. The
same is true of 2 other bridges, about
1/2 mile apart, on road 95 about 1/2 mile
from north of road 27. A better prospect
than any of these is a bridge on road 24,
1/2 mile west of road 93.
Bridge, 4 mi. west of Davis, Yolo Co., Calif.
This bridge, at the entrance to the Pierce
Ranch, contained only 2 complete nests, +
very few fragments of other nests.

Bridge, 3 mi. N.E. of Davis, Yolo Co., Calif.
There were very few complete nests seen
under this bridge today. Although I didn't
wade under the bridge, I checked the abutments
with binoculars. I saw only about a dozen
complete nests, and about 25 fragmentary
nests still in place.
