Hi Craig & All,
A few years back we had a Barn Swallow flying around just as volunteers were
coming back in for the countdown at the Thomas Condon Visitor Center in the
John Day Fossil Bed National Monument, for the Antone CBC. Recorded for the
count.
Definitely a good CBC sighting but not unprecedented. Climate change is
happening!

Hi all,
While birding at the Crooked River Wetlands, Marilyn and I observed a BARN
SWALLOW flying along the Crooked River. I am not aware of any other swallow
records in Central Oregon during either December or January.
