Junell I cannot remember ever seeing Eave Swallows before be¬ 
tween Bethel and Upton, but there is now a good-sized colony at 
Poplar Tavern, where we counted 28 nests attached to the west side 
of the barn under the eaves, and two smaller colonies above the 
Notch in Grafton.

The Eave Swallows still cling to the old barn at the 
Lake House and the colony is bigger than ever. I counted no less 
than 54 nests most of which were on the south (gable) end of the 
barn securely supported by cleats. There were also a few on the 
east side where the birds nested exclusively in the '70's. 
Another and smaller colony of these Swallows (no doubt an 
overflow from the other) has taken possession of my boat house 
(built in 1899) where there are now twelve occupied nests, most of 
which are at the gable end. 
Lake Umbagog Colony of Eave Swallows at Errol Dam. 
June 15 
The colony of Eave Swallows was the largest I have ever 
seen in northern New England. I counted 95 nests on the front 
(gable) end of Allen's barn, two on the south side, four on the 
sduth side of the house, and 54 on the east side of the dam under 
the projecting roof; in all 155 nests. Many of these were unfin¬ 
ished and some only just begun, but all- that I included in my 
count showed unmistakable signs of progressing or very recent work.
