Re: [cobirds] Where have all the swallows gone?

There are a lot of tree swallows at Tucker Lake in Arvada.  They showed up about a month ago.

Remember the migration after the fires when millions of birds died? Many in NM? A lot of them were swallows.

From my records I should have had a few Tree Swallows about a month ago.  The Northern Rough-wings should have arrived a week ago and been looking for nest sites in the creek bank.  Violet-greens and Barns should be flying by every evening.  Nada. Not one swallow has shown up.

Where have all the Swallows gone?  Long time passing.

Where have all the Warblers gone?  Long time ago.

Where have all flycatchers gone?

Lack of insects every one.

When will they ever learn?
