On Hile School rd just west of Ed Hill Rd intersection, in the field s of the road, swallows are foraging in large impressive numbers. Dragonflies? They were there yesterday and have swooped back in this morning as the grasses warmed.
I know someone was watching close to the field (and some swallows were landing helpfully in front of the car) but from my deck, I was only sure of tree, barn and bank swallows. On the other hand, there are a LOT of swallows to keep eyes on. I think many may have roosted together as hundreds swooped in on the west wind together an hour or so ago. I will head up there shortly, but am not great at picking out species! Also look for a concentration of kestrels over the field N of road, just east of the unpaved road. There were 5 last evening.
