Prompted by the Swallow related posts a few days ago, I want to add the
complete lack of tree swallows and barn swallows at our house. This is in
Danby, Gunderman and Jersey Hill Road where there is lots of open fields that
hay is the crop. There is no spraying just spreading of lime and

Hmmm... I see a lot of barn swallows around number 400 Gunderman right now, so
it seems that what you’re experiencing is not a neighborhood-wide phenomenon.

I was thrilled to see a Brown Thrasher in our yard, until one went into
the garage and didn't come out! Fledgling, maybe? There is a second,

some kind of larva in its mouth.
Anyone know the best way to coax a bird out of
