Summer Residents of our Place
  22. Warbling Vireo: - A bird singing in the orchard
near the West Bedford Station, another
in the elms at Mrs. Harris' place. The
latter bird (presumably) paid our place a 
visit on the evening of June 17th.
  23. Cedar bird: - A flock of 12 seen feeding on
canker worms in Mc. Grath's orchard at W. Bedford
on June 2. Birds heard near our farm house
on June 4th & 15th. I am by no means
sure that any have bred on our place this year.
  24. Barn Swallow: - Two pairs nesting on our place 
one in the barn at the Bungalow, the other
in the Ritchie barn. There are also a pair in
Bensen's barn & one or two pairs in Mr. Harris
barn.
  25. White-bellied Swallow: -  A pair nesting in a box
on a pole on the Ritchie place, another pair in
a box on our hen house at the farm.
  26. Bank Swallow: - A colony of about a dozen
pairs nesting in the sand bank on Dakin's Hill.
Eave Swallow. I saw one or two Eave Swallows
flying on the marshes near Ball's Hill on May
18, 19 & 22. They were probably migrants for none
have been noted since. George Parker tells me there
are no nests on his father's barn this year. Last year
there were four or five breeding pairs, he says.
