[Maine-birds] now 4 Tree Swallows

As the sky is lightening here in Gardiner there are now at least 4 Tree Swallows, sometimes swooping quite low over the Subway parking lot area.

 

Sorry to clog the airwaves with these reports but given these seem quite early I thought I would keep folks posted.

Subject: [Maine-birds] tree swallow and impressive merganser flock

 

Today I have only seen a single Tree Swallow foraging above downtown Gardiner, mostly staying quite high but occasionally dropping a bit lower over the stream and parking lot areas but there is a nice looking flock of more than 200 Common Mergansers, mostly males, cavorting around in a fairly tight-knit group in the Kennebec River off the boat landing in Gardiner. Very cool! Luckily for the swallow, despite the cool temps and rain  I have seen some flying insects.
