MAY 7, 2009 - Continuing overcast and off-and-on rainy weather now  
for a few days.  At noon I checked on the Port Williams sewage ponds,  
and found there a big flock of perhaps 150 SWALLOWS.  Most of them  
were TREE SWALLOWS, and many of those were brown-plumaged yearlings.   
Perhaps 15 or more were BARN SWALLOWS.  Viewing conditions were less  
than ideal, and no other swallows were detected.  Ducks present  
included 2 m,f pairs of RING-NECKED DUCKS and 2 male MALLARDS.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
