[Maine-birds] Barn Swallow- FOY - Unity Rd/Sebasticook River - Benton Farm

FOY Barn Swallows - fun to watch as they jet around like acrobats.  It will be interesting to count the number that return.  Last year 6 to 8 pair arrived and about 34 Barn Swallows left in August.  The population returning has been falling off the last few years.

2011 - April 25th
2012 - May 3rd
2013 - Missing date
2014 - May 6th
2015 - May 1st

Interesting that no Blue Birds have returned so far.  They usually arrive two weeks before the Tree Swallows, which arrived April 13th this year.
