1905.
Summer Residents of our Place.
  51. Chimney Swift: - Two pairs at Farm, one
at Ritchie's place, one at Bensen's. Frequently
heard birds in our chimney & saw one enter
chimney of Ritchie's house bearing a twig
in its bill on evening June 15.
  52. Whippoorwill: Heard nearly every evening in
May at the farm mostly one or two birds
towards the W. & N.W. Also heard frequently
in early June. On the evening of May 4 a
Bird began singing opposite Ball's Hill in
the woods near my boat house. I heard it
there afterwards and Forbush heard it regularly
through the first half of June. I have
never before known a Whippoorwill to spend
their breeding season so near Ball's Hill.
  [Hairy Woodpecker. I doubt if any Hairy
Woodpeckers have bred on our land this 
year although I noted two there April 9
& one on June 3rd. I have never known these
to be so nearly absent before]
  53. Downy Woodpecker: - A pair nested at the
Farm in a wild apple tree on Barrett 
Run & I saw another nest in a poplar at
W. end of Ball's Hill.
  54. Flicker. About the usual number. A nest
in tall elm at N. end of farm house in
same hole where pair nested last year.
