So I knew I had to replace the wobbly poles that held my Tree Swallow nest
boxes and I knew that they returned April 14  last year and so, of course,
when I got home from work at 1:30 today there was a single Tree Swallow
flying above my yard, the same return date as last year.

I had recently purchased new, more sturdy iron poles and cement and was
waiting for the right conditions to put them up but then the unexpected,on
time appearance of this swallow put me to work immediately and now the
 poles are up, cemented in, and nest boxes back up. And the waiting and
observing begins.

My notes from last year indicate that the swallows returned April 14,
checked out the nest boxes on the 14th and 15th then left the yard due to
wet inclement weather then returned to begin nesting activities on May 2nd.

Tree Swallows are an interesting bird for sure.
