Hi All
This afternoon BB and I went for a paddle on a
favorite lake. When we got there the rain had just
stopped and the sky was still heavy overcast. The wind
was close to North but was not blowing very hard but
made it feel cool.
When we got out on the lake, there were a lot of
swallows flying about taking flies near the water.
They would hit the water sometimes. Seemed there was
both Tree and Barn Swallows with prehaps others.
Dozens of them.
After 30 minutes or so, the sky brightened, the
temperature rose a couple of degrees and the wind
pulled a little more to the West but didn't blow any
harded. The number of flies on the water increased
dramatically, even Mayflies came out and lots others
but not many black flies. 
The susprising thing was that the swallows all
disappeared when this happened. Exactly the opposite
to what I thought would be the case. For the rest of
the afternoon, there was no swallows on the lake.
Prehaps it was rest time!
Enjoy the spring
Paul
