Hiram Village: Tree Swallows, Bluebirds etc.

[Sean S]

Tree Swallows arrived in Hiram this morning, with a handful milling around the watershed of Hancock Brook.  The first Bluebird was seen 2 days ago and currently there are a couple singing in different spots.  A couple of Killdeer were heard at Eastern Slope airport on the same day, while Woodcock and Song Sparrow have been present and staking out their territories for almost a week now.   Initial Song Sparrow numbers are definitely up from the previous two years, with 9 seen and heard around the yard on Wednesday.
