Re: [cayugabirds-l] barn swallows
Our barn swallows arrived yesterday during the morning hours, 3 in total. Many more than that left here last fall, I always wonder if some of the others succumbed to the stress of the trip or moved elsewhere. It looks like there is enough insect activity for them. tree swallows seem to have come this morning and are occupying one of the birdhouses. Ditto on the welcome, don't know what we do without them!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] barn swallows
Our barn swallows are gone this morning too and it seems very quiet. They had a very late fledge and a small group stayed behind the rest of them.
