[Maine-birds] Rain brings all the swallows to the Saco River

Since Monday, in addition to DC cormorants that number near 100 at times (112 most I have counted at once) swarms of Swallows and Chimney Swifts have been gobbling up the bugs.

Barn
No. Rough-winged
Large numbers if Bank Swallows

Also 4 Spotted Sandpipers and some good Warbler numbers. In the parking lot at work I had 5 Blackpolls yesterday.

Redstarts
Yellow
Chestnut-sided
Paula
BT-green
B&W
Magnolia

Warbling and Blueheaded Vireo
Phoebes
Catbirds

Yesterday we had an Osprey and last week a Bald Eagle and The Peregrine.

But no Peregrine this week.
