Yesterday afternoon I walked across the street to the sewer ponds in Port Williams, Kings County. There were many swallows (25?) and the best assortment that I have ever seen here. Most were barn swallows, 3-4 tree swallows, a couple of bank swallows, one cliff swallow (light forehead) and a lone chimney swift. As I was watching them actively feeding they all suddenly disappeared and I watched as a peregrine falcon chased one swallow from the feeding flock. I don't think it was successful, it seemed to fly to the northwest, but I didn't see where the swallows went, I waited for ten minutes but they didn't return. On the pond were only a few mallards and one female hooded merganser, this bird seems to be all that is left of three that appeared early last week. On the eastern side of Hwy 358 as you approach the bridge there is a flock of canada geese that has built in number over the past month to approximately sixty birds. When I first noticed them there were fourteen birds in the flock, they are probably local nesters that are staging on the silage fields with fresh forage, they do fly to the river and have flown into the sewer pond, but seem to be a daily sight in the three fields on the east side of the road to Port Williams.
