The dim light under cloudy skies make it difficult to identify the various swallow species, but at least 5 could be scoped as definitely being Tree Swallows. Later in the afternoon at about 1 pm a small flock of about 20 to 30 swallows, of which three could be identified as Violet-greens foraged over agricultural land just north of the Direct Distribution Shopping Center on Leavesley Road, and just east of Hwy 101. They also moved in a southerly direction. This is the first year that I have really been able to view swallow migration movements in our area. The local breeders usually stage over about a two week period and are suddenly gone until next year. I have rarely ever seen southerly swallow migration movements inland, originating from more northerly locations, even near large bodies of water. The sudden change in weather may have created a good viewing opportunity. Linda Adams _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
