We traveled to Atascadero to see if the Purple Martins had arrive yet, and although we didn't see any, we saw two Northern Rough-winged Swallows, two Cliff Swallows, a few Tree Swallows and about 8 to 10 White-throated Swifts. On the way through the Atascadero city area, four groups of Cedar Waxwings (about 25 in each group) came roaring through, landing on the unkept hedges, gulping down cotoneaster berries whole. We haven't seen any Cedar Waxwings at home for years. We thought this was a pretty good day. But when we returned home to San Martin on Church Avenue and DePaul Circle, a third Barn Swallow was sitting on the power line to greet us. He could have come in with the pair that arrived 6 March, but this is the first time we had seen them all together. Then we also noticed after driving over 100 miles to see Northern Rough-winged Swallows, we had two of our own sitting on the power line beside the new Barn Swallow. The four new birds that we could not identify this morning before we left for Atascadero could now be identified as Cliff Swallows, which were the first of their kind that we had seen in our community this year. So as the sun was setting this evening, I realized that the Violet-Green Swallows and White-throated Swifts should be along any day now, and if we stay home more often, maybe we'll be there to see a Purple Martin or Bank Swallow wander through and make our "at home" swallow list complete.
