Tree Swallows are nesting everywhere where there were 
many stubs. They evidently spread over this whole region unlike 
the Bronzed Grackles which evidently congregate in colonies and of 
which we saw none up the river to-day.

Very few Stub Swallows compared to the earlier times but 
this is scarcely to be wondered at in view of the fact that the 
stubs have almost wholly disappeared from this part of the Lake. 
Most of those which used to stand along or near the river banks 
have either rotted and. fallen or been cut by the lumbermen because 
they impeded the drives^but those which fringed the shores and es¬ 
pecially the coves well back from the course of the river were cut, 
a few years ago, by the Upton people, for firewood.
