My son and I found nesting BANK SWALLOWS at the end of Reeder Beach Road
last night (6/23). There's a pasture enclosed north of the parking lot, the
colony is immediately east of the gate in the ne corner. You can walk up the
beach (north, downstream) and the place is opposite an elaborate navagational
installation(ladders, solar panels). It's possible to stand right next to the
colony. There may be a dozen holes, I don't know if they're all occupied.
In the ponds along a trail system to the north we saw three Great Egrets,
which I've never seen on the westside in June before. I recall reports from
Ridgefield and/or Scapoose about possible nesting egrets. Lars
