This morning, I saw a small flock of about 10 Tree Swallows flying over the field near the Mud Hole area of Elk Garden. This seems late to me. What do you think? I also had a Loggerhead Shrike on the power line across the road from the Mud Hole, a tree with 9 Black Vultures, and a second tree with 5 Turkey Vultures. The winter flock of White-crowned Sparrows around the intersection of Route 80 and Elk Garden Road is building up. I saw at least 8 there this morning. Jerry
