--0016e642d2e60271e0046c7e45e4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I know one shouldn't extrapolate from single observer impressions, but around here I feel that this summer Swallows have bounced back somewhat. We nearly always have a few Tree and Barn Swallows flying around above our property, and the other day there were at lest 50 Bank Swallows - presumably there was a flock of flying insects. I have seen reasonable numbers of Swallows this summer elsewhere in Kings Co., including at the Pt.Williams sewage ponds. The bird that seems to be missing around here this summer is the Black-capped Chickadee! I can only find very few. Richard On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 5:17 PM, James W.
