Field Notes from the Past #3

Being a continuation of field-journal entries from the springs of 1962 and 1963 when I was a budding ornithologist of just 15 or 16 growing up in the rural village of Galien in Berrien County, Michigan.

April 3, Tuesday [1962]

I again went to Springville [LaPorte County, Indiana] to see the [Tundra] swans with Ado Boyce [a neighbor]. We left just as the sun was coming up. About five or six ducks were seen swimming on the pond but no swans were seen.
