[Tweeters] Where have all the Swallows gone?

[Hans-Joachim Feddern via Tweeters]

Has anyone else noticed that there seem to be less swallows around? We
normally have a good number of Violet-green Swallows over the lakes here in
Twin Lakes in Federal Way. By this time of the year they have finished
breeding and we see more Barn Swallows. Also a couple of pairs of Northern
Rough-winged Swallows are present with an occasional Tree Swallow mixed in.
Over the last month or longer, I have not seen a swallow of any species on
most days. What is up? Are we looking at a decline? How is it in other
areas around Puget Sound?

Good Birding!

Hans
