[SBB] TRES in South County



Hello SBBers,
 
The house-hunting TREE SWALLOWS arrived on their nesting grounds at Church Avenue and De Paul Circle in San Martin today, 5 January.  The two TRES circled over my head (on three different occasions) in the driveway at about 11:30 am, then looked into some nesting boxes nearby.  Their tone indicated that they were upset to see that the Nuttall's Woodpeckers had been roosting in their boxes while they were away for the last four months.  They remained for at least 45 minutes, at which time we departed to run some errands.  When we returned at 1:45 pm they were gone, and by then, the north wind was blowing.  We have noticed in recent years that we are seeing more and more TRES at the Coyote Lake-Harvey Bear Ranch County Park Reservoir in the Fall and Winter, but this is a very early January date to find them in the neighborhood.  At the rate they are extending their stay here, they may eventually be seen here in considerable numbers year-round.
