26 June 12, Tuesday. This morning went down to Suley's. The young Martin's have built quite a bulky nest of oat and buckwheat straw. Counted 8 Bank Swallow's nests in a sand bank near their barn. Went down to the plum orchard and beyond. Saw the Killdeer and thier young. The young had a shorter tail and slimmer body. They flew well. All were very noisy. As I was crossing a wire fence a Song Sparrow flew out. I looked and found [[end page]] [[start page]] 27 the nest. It was built in a little depression and contained 4 eggs. They were bluish white blotched thickly with rather dark rulous[[guess]]. A little stick laid across the nest. Went on to the point. Found a Ridstart's nest built in a grapevine about 5 1/2 feet from the ground. It contained 2 eggs. They were white spotted with cinnamon, forming a wreath around the large end. There was also a Robin's nest in some grapevines above the river.
