May 6, 1964
Wednesday, beautiful, clear day, 70. David, Clifton and I went to Cobleskill in am. David and Ronnie Schemerhorn worked for Earl in pm. Clifton worked on garage door. Saw first barn swallows.
Comment: Another beautiful day on the hill. Barn swallows are amazing fliers and I always loved watching them....here is what I said about them in one of my Songpoemstories:
"Swallows from the barn would swoop and dive to dine in flight
Their slate-blue wings would flash and gleam with flicking, glinting lights."
Here are swallows drinking on-the-wing. I saw a video of one, while roosting during rain, catch individual rain drops.....
