Around 6:30 pm Fri. I found numbers of swallows along Toby Rd. in western
Greene Co., in the flat bottomland along Lick Creek, in the vicinity of Scoot
Mill Rd.
Species I could make out were Bank, Barn, Tree and Northern Rough-winged
Swallows. I didn't count, but estimate the total flock in the hundreds. I saw
three Bank Swallows well enough to feel sure of, but suspect many others were
present.
Also present were Bobolinks. I observed a few perched in tall grass at the
top of an adjacent hill, then a flock of nineteen rose up, swirled around the
area, then dove and disappeared into the tall grass and weeds near the creek.
Shortly afterwards the swallows were no longer in view either, around 7:15 pm.
