The first day of August and it seems that with this weekend, our summer has finally arrived.
this afternoon Ernie took one of the kayaks out and headed over to the Chehalis River (I’m not sure why I wasn’t invited to go along!)
while he was there he witnessed something we have seen at this time, in several years past…that is swarms of swallows….tree’s full of young birds…
in years past these swarms have been made up of as many as 4 different species…
Just looking at these pictures, these appear to be mainly Tree Swallows, although there could well be some Northern Rough Wing and Violet Green Mixed in…don’t see any Barn Swallows….
it does answer the question, though, of where are all the Swallows…apparently they are over on the Chehalis River! and that is a good thing because the lack of Swallows was getting a bit concerning…
