Dennis-

Now we get to try and figure out what the heck these 330+ cliff swallows
thought they were doing...the only thing we could speculate about, since
they weren't eating anything, is maybe they were trying to stay warm with
the blacktop road surface radiating the heat of the day..or maybe they
were just schooling up for the trip south..or...or..
