Was out this morning by 8:00 am at Phipps Bend. First highlight of the trip
was a huge flock of Tree Swallows on the road, wires, and fence around the
Cooper Standard facility. I estimate conservatively there were around 2,000
birds. I looked at hundreds of individuals and I did not see another
swallow except Tree. Last Fall, as I recall, in this same spot I had a
flock of very late Cliff Swallows. Other bird included:
Indigo Bunting (many)
Song Sparrow (many)
Brown Thrasher
Eastern Bluebird
White-eyed Vireo
Wood Duck (8)
Magnolia Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
American Redstart
Red-shouldered Hawk
Eastern Meadowlark
Killdeer
Common Crow
