Eave Swallows 
ne i 
Rig 
on 
Parker 8 s 
barn 
The Eave Swallows were at Parker's nesting under 
the eaves of the barn. Parker put up a cleat to support 
the nests this spiffing but in spite of it a number of nests 
full of young fell during the thunder shower of last evening, 
I was told. Parker's son says there were 17 complete and 
occupied nests yesterday. This morning there were only four 
or five perfect ones but I counted a dozen in which the birds 
were sitting, although some of them were little more than 
narrow, semi-circular platforms from which the young or 
eggs had apparently fallen.

Canada 
Porcupine 
killed 
in Concord 
Pat Flannery tells me that Mason Wheeler killed a 
large Canada Porcupine last week near Bateman's Pond. There 
were two together but one escaped. The one killed was hung 
up in Davis's store for three days and was seen by many of 
the Concord people, including Herbert Holden.
