[Tweeters] and finally, 10 Barn Swallows on Fir Island

[Dennis Paulson]

10 Barn Swallows on the wires on Mann Road north of the Skagit Wildlife Area were a surprise on 4 October 2021. Most if not all were relatively short-tailed and pale-bellied, presumably young birds. We never saw a swallow in three days in eastern Washington just before that, so I consider these fairly late migrants.
