I visited two of the Tusket Islands today that have colonies of Bank Swallo=
ws.=20
Peases Island: I had visited this island on July 20=2C 2014 and only saw Ba=
rn Swallows. This year (July 26=2C 2015) there were both Bank and Barn Swal=
lows. I estimated that there were about 20 Bank Swallows=2C they seemed to =
prefer feeding on the south side of the island=2C and that is probably wher=
e the nest holes are.
Outer Bald Island: I had visited this island on June 29=2C 2014 and noted 1=
0 Bank Swallows. Today (July 26=2C 2015) there were at least 16.=20
Whitehead Island: I visited this island on July 9=2C 2015. There were 8 or =
so holes on the cliff on the eastern side of the island just below the gras=
s line. One individual was seen entering and exiting a hole. We only counte=
d 3 Bank Swallows here=2C but there definitely could have been more as they=
 were going back and forth out to sea to the south of the island.
