About 4 Barn Swallows arrived today at their traditional summer home in our barns.  We had begun to worry that we would not see them this year. In past years we had taken down the previous year's nests, which did not seem to make any difference to the birds.  This year the old nests are still

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

Our barn swallows left yesterday, some may have left a few days earlier but there was a core group that waited until sometime during the day to depart. I had counted 3 individuals in the spring, there may have been more that straggled in. A couple of weeks ago I counted around 40 individuals,

A friend of mine, Tim Dorn, lives on the west side of the lake, by Buttonwood Winery, and has Barn Swallows nesting on his dock every year. A few of the early arrivals were back on Monday the 1st hawking some unseen insects. I don't know if they had been reported yet. Gary -- Cayugabirds-L
