I saw a barn swallow flying around my barn this evening 4/17/24. That is
7 days earlier than the previous earliest arrival on 4/25/2011. The
range for arrival for barn swallows has been between 4/25/2011 to 5/6/2014.
I have not seen a tree swallow here at all so far. The tree swallows
usually arrive here between 4/9 in 2012 and 2014 and 4/18/2020. Maybe
they have just moved on to better nests. I did a search of emails and
found only one posting by Daniel Carr in Dayton on 4/9/24. Maybe there
have been significant losses of tree swallows this past winter.
