Late each afternoon, Alison and I walk up a stretch of Wash Gunn Road to a
point a little short of the first house with a bad dog. For at least a week
now, over a strip of road about half way to our turnaround, there have been
increasing numbers of swallows, mostly Rough-winged. Yesterday, so many were
perched on one span of power line, I decided to take a photo and count them
later. I couldn't get even half of them in side on, so I walked to where they
all fit into one frame. That made them merge together, but by zooming in, I
could count feet. I counted 152 swallows, 1 Mourning Dove and 1 Mockingbird.
All the nearby ones I saw were Rough-winged. We also regularly encounter 3
different pairs of Blue Grosbeaks on our walk. Captured one with a bug
yesterday. 2 new pics here -
