No! the swallows were blown back here via the storms as a number of years ago when I watched many, many die on Summerville Beach. There was something about the flight pattern and the diving that wasn't as sweeping and elegant as that of the swallows. The birds were doing fine aerobatics. As what they were capturing seemed to disperse so did the birds and a couple landed on the wires just as we were passing the salt sheds at the west connector. They were starlings! I haven't ever noticed that before. have no idea what they were feasting on. Gives me a slightly different view to feeding the hordes now. Marg Millard, White Point, Queens http://MargMillard.ca .................... Hi, Twice today I have watched large but loosely-knit flocks of Starlings flying high, and behaving just like Swifts or Swallows - darting about and certainly looking as if they are catching small aerial insects. I can't say I have specifically noticed that before, but I presume it's a common phenomenon for opportunists.
