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.
