Banks 1959 Chordeiles minor 2. June 28 Kye Bay, Comox, Vancouver Island, B.C. A bird flushed from the ground ahead of me with a very peculiar flight. On a slightly raised area without vegetation there was a little cleared area containing one egg, which was warm. There was a part of a broken shell a few inches away. The egg was next to a rock about 1½ x the size of the egg. Can hear another bird flying peeping, and the one that flushed just flew past me and landed on a fence post 25 yds. away.
