Re: [Maine-birds] Swallow Swarm

Last evening  there were several hundred flying low above the Libby River marsh In Scarborough, as well. The flock here was mostly tree swallows with barn swallows mixed in.

Same in Cape Neddick. We had seven barn swallow nests in our garage this summer with six fledglings each. They are all outside on the wires now and have been joined by about 100 more including some tree swallows.

Nice morning to visit the Pushaw Lake inlet marsh in Hudson. I was greeted by a swarm of around 150 swallows. The majority were tree, but there was a healthy percentage of bank and barn, and a handful of cliff.

 

At the same time, there was a black-billed cuckoo calling incessantly from the treeline.
