Gene, Scott,

Kathy Barker and I had Rough-winged Swallows at Tolt-McDonald Park on April
18 - a few amongst "bazillions" of violet-greens. Sorry, I forgot to post
it. We had Cliff Swallows at the Kent Ponds/GRNRA on April 22, along with
"bazillions" of violet-greens and a few barns. When I went back April 24, I
saw very few swallows of any species - just "bazillions" of Savannah
Sparrows. (If anyone is just starting to learn sparrows and wants to learn
one species well, that's one place to do it.)
