[birdky] Campbell Co. Bank Swallow update

The Bank Swallow nesting colony at Dayton, KY?has grown rapidly since my last 
post on Monday. There were only about 6 or 7 nest holes visible, now I can 
count at least 38. There is a flurry of activity in and out of the holes, with 
probably at least 60 Bank Swallows present. The nests are all in the sand/mud 
bank between the boat lift and the river. In 2007 they were in the mostly mud 
bank between the boat ramp and the boat lift. I hope the river doesn't rise, if 
it goes up another 8-12 feet or so the nests will all be covered. Also present 
1 Green Heron, 2 fledgling Tree Swallows, 20 Barn Swallows, 1 Rough-winged 
Swallow, 2 Willow Flycatchers, 2 Yellow Warblers. I could not relocate the 
Spotted Sandpipers on this visit.
