Re: [cayugabirds-l] Swallows galore

Sometimes walking the RR track here, I look down to shore to see Swallows 
sitting atop the heads of those plastic  GH Owls people put on docks or rooves 
to scare away birds!

Saw plenty of swallows yesterday as we made our way to and around Montezuma. 
The first sighting was from the Visitor Center parking lot, a mixed flock of 
Barn, Tree and Northern Rough-winged. They were busy flitting around the crane 
statue, presumably picking up insects There were swallows at most stops we made 
including along the wildlife drive, May’s Point, Morgan Road, Carncross Road. 
On our way home via the east side of the lake we could see swallows flying 
along the surface of the very choppy water. They seemed to be picking up 
insects from the water’s surface (?) and staying low as they gradually made 
their way north. We saw them at just about every spot we had a view of the 
water (Wells Boat house, Long Point and wherever the road came close to the 
shore). We didn’t see many other small birds in flight all day, just raptors.
