Rhett et al.,
Both Tree and Violet-green Swallows start flying well before dawn. I've heard
them as early as 3:00-3:30AM when doing big days.

Rhett,
They are typical pre-dawn birds this time of year. They are very active in my
neighborhood in the hour or so before dawn every morning this time of year and
are sometimes joined by Purple Martins. Been hearing it for years- it is a late
spring-early summer thing which is one of those special treats this time of
year.
Merry almost summertime!

In the dark of 4:30am this morning, I was surprised to hear lots of
Violet-green Swallows active in the sky. It was strange to hear them so alone
with no other bird sound around. I was reminded of Marbled Murrelets piercing
the silence at that hour.
