[SBB] Swallows on Coyote Reservoir in South County



Hello SBBers,
 
Today, 18 February 2006, at around noon at the Coyote Lake-Harvey Bear Ranch Boat Ramp (beyond the Ranger Station) [Gilroy area] there were more than 100 swallows feeding over the Reservoir.  Most could be identified as TREE SWALLOWS with at least three that were VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS.  There were some swallows that definitely WERE NOT either of the previously mentioned birds, with some color, but at that distance could not be positively identified.  There was a dead, bare tree a short distance from the close shore that thirty or more swallows would land on at a single time to take a break after foraging.  Those birds that rested on the dead tree were, naturally, much easier to identify.
