Swallows!


This stump full of swallows greeted us when we arrived at the boat launch this morning. I have never seen anything like it. Mostly Tree Swallows, but a bunch of Cliff Swallows, at least one Bank Swallow, and the usual complement of Northern Rough-winged Swallows that nest in the old Aqueduct.

    That is a somewhat terrifying picture.

    So beautiful! I was surprised to see so many tree swallows. They were losing ground just like the bluebirds as they are cavity nesters. Love Mom

    Jan, lol, there sue were a lot of them. We were so lucky to hit there at the right time, as within 20 minutes they lifted off and were gone.

    Mom, I don't really know how their overall numbers are doing, but we do see a lot of big flocks this time of year...hundreds at time sometimes. They are so pretty. Love you!
