Notice there was no mention of Bank Swallows here. I haven't had an
opportunity to make it out to this area this spring. There is a
traditional colony in the mine tailings across the road from the
industrial park and, in the past, Bank Swallows could often be found
found foraging in the grasslands here. The mine has been out of
operation for some time and the colony seems to have been thinning
out but I've still had a few here the last few years. I have not
had a good opportunity to check the colony at New Market in Jefferson
County this year either.
