From my San Jose brother.
*One Swallow does not a summer make, nor one fine day.*
But what about 100's? Of course they have lots of fine days down there,
but they always have and this is not at all typical over past years.
A quick check of eBird for a wide area around the south Bay
from Dec-Feb found 4 records of violet green swallows for the
10 year period 1990 to 2000, with numbers not given.

Another sign of warming -- swallows now overwintering in the Bay Area - in
the hundreds.

Folks,
Lake Cunningham is awash with swallows this morning ... hundreds of violet
green and a couple dozen tree swallows as well flying over the lake. Here
now in the rain.
