This afternoon at my home in Fort Collins I was watching a flock of 30 or so tree swallows flying far over my back yard, several hundred feet high, when hail started falling all around me. A second or two later the swallows dove, as a group, in a straight line at full speed. Fast! When they were just 50 feet off the ground they banked hard and disappeared into a large spruce. They sheltered there until the hail stopped.
