Rough Ride For The Swallows
Roy DeJersey of Manitoba Road Patrol ferries Erickson and Elphinstone along No 10 to No 5 Highway covering about 45 miles daily. A pair of barn swallows have built a nest in a hollow space on the gradier over the blade circle and ride with Roy, gliding in and out of the nest as the route is traveled. The birds sometimes disappear for 3 or 4 miles but always return, leaving Mr and Mrs DeJersey waiting to see if the eggs hatch after the bumpy ride.
