May 11, Saturday.
This morning Art Rudy and I took our dinners and went down the track. By the depot a pair of Bank swallows have started to dig their nests.
In that Bluebird's nest in the hollow post there were young.
Saw a Yellow Warbler in [[Vock's?]] marsh. It was singing.
Many birds were along the track to pick up gravel. Saw a Prairie Horned Lark Vesper Sparrows and 4 Mourning Doves eating gravel close to one another.
