Hi,
I know one shouldn't extrapolate from single observer impressions, but =
around here I feel that this summer Swallows have bounced back somewhat. =
We nearly always have a few Tree and Barn Swallows flying around above =
our property, and the other day there were at lest 50 Bank Swallows - =
presumably there was a flock of flying insects. I have seen reasonable =
numbers of Swallows this summer elsewhere in Kings Co., including at the =
Pt.Williams sewage ponds. The bird that seems to be missing around here =
this summer is the Black-capped Chickadee! I can only find very few.
