<div style="margin:0in;background:white" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><font size="3"><span style="color: black;">I'm continuing an inventory of nesting colonies of Bank Swallows in western
Washington again this year. I'm interested in obtaining breeding colony
records in this half of the state from birders who haven't already posted their
observations on eBird. I'd like to receive information on the locations
of colonies (as exact as possible so that the sites can be visited), as well as
dates visited and numbers of burrows counted for 2022 or any past years.
Data from past years will help inform how long specific sites have been
occupied. So far, nearly all known colonies are located in the
counties flanking the western Cascades, thus I'm especially interested in
hearing about sites present in Pacific, Wahkiakum, Grays Harbor, Mason, Kitsap,
Jefferson, Clallam, Island, and San Juan counties. Clark County is another location where colonies are underrepresented. Please contact me with
your information at </span><span style="color:black;mso-color-alt:windowtext"><a href="mailto:wilesharkey@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">wilesharkey@yahoo.com</a></span><span style="color: black;"> . Thanks for your help. </span></font></div>
