I was at RH Treman SP Sunday afternoon watching a northern rough-winged swallow fly in and out of one of the holes in the stone wall holding up the changing room plateau, just downstream from the swimming area. Last year there was an occupied hole high in the wall, just a few feet from the top (10 feet above water level?). This year's hole was much lower, probably five feet above water level. Based on some of the flash flood footage from youtube, it's very likely this nest hole got inundated.
